Which I did. My apologies if I didn't make that clear. After the make makefiles command above, I did make, then make upgrade. It installed without error, then I did postfix stop / postfix start and verified via the logfile that it was 2.1 that was running. It's still expecting to find /etc/postfix/main.cf instead of /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf, however.
