Using a standard circular saw should be able to make a true cut by using a speed square to guide the saw plate. Since you drove the posts to nearly the finished height it is not like you are going to have a large heavy piece of wood falling after the cut.
While it is true a standard saw will not cut all the way in one pass, it should cut deep enough that the remaining depth could be finished off with the reciprocating saw without making such a "large mess".
With the tools I already have, this is the way I would do what you need done.
