I suppose this is because it is the open-xchange documentation, not
the cyrus documentation. but read on.

cyrus has no dependency on postfix whatsoever.
I also suppose following the OX install instructions in the order
presented there would lead one to a functional setup. if this is not
the case the install instructions should be changed.

if the question actually means: "I want to install postfix and cyrus,
do I have to install postfix first?", then you should ask this at some
postfix forum.

quoting from
http://wiki.open-xchange.com/wiki/index.php?title=Open_Xchange_Installation#V._Installing.2FConfiguring_Mail

"Make sure following packages are installed on your system:
    * cyrus-imapd-2.2 
    * sasl2-bin 
    * libpam-mysql 
    * libnss-mysql-bg 
    * postfix-mysql "

now, where is the problem with following this instruction?

look, if you're having trouble with the OX instructions you shoud give
the necessary information so others can try to help, e.g.
- exactly what you did (according to the OX install documentation)
- what went wrong (and how you know it went wrong)

if you're having problems installing and configuring vanilla debian
packages (not OX itself) you really should join one of the many
debian-users mailing lists, e.g. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-french/
