I'm faced with the exact same problem at a client site.  Unfortunately, 
all you can do is use mbxcvt from the UW utilities kit to convert 
mbx->mbox then use mb2md to finish the conversion to maildir.

it sucks, it's horrible, it's really ugly but it's a side effect of the 
politics of mailbox formats.  BUT dovecot is so wonderful it makes it 
all worthwhile.

I'm just hoping that Timo gets the mbox support fixed RSN.
