Agreed; and no need for makemap.  On Leopard, hash is the 
default_database_type so you need only type:

% postmap /path/to/your/sasl_passwd        

You also don't need to do any of the Tiger-related reshuffling described 
by another poster.  Just setup the sasl_passwd file and make the 
requisite entries in your main.cf.  And as Kyle mentioned, Postfix is not 
always running by default on OS X.  It "wakes up" to send messages when 
called by mutt via the sendmail command and then shuts back down after 
attempting to send the message.
