Is it "normal" to have to "force uninstall" a port before a new

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.
