No; cyrus-sasl2 has unique needs.

Instead of force-uninstalling, you could deactivate the old cyrus- 
sasl2, then install the new cyrus-sasl2. Then you can uninstall the  
old cyrus-sasl2. With MacPorts 1.6.0, this will still require you to  
use the -f flag to force it, but with MacPorts 1.7.0, uninstallation  
of a deactivated port when a newer version has already been installed  
will not require forcing.
