Colin,

  No, in main.cf you will add smtpd_sasl_path - smtpd
which tells postfix that the cyrus configuration file is named smtpd.conf.
This file is generally in /usr/lib/sasl2 or possibly /etc/sasl2 directory.
You then configure cyrus to authenticate against its database (sasldb).

 Check out www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html for actual instructions
on how to configure this.
