Yes, although at least currently you'll have to create separate
namespaces for it. And user-specific namespaces aren't yet supported,
I'll probably add ~/.dovecotrc which can be used to override that and
some other settings.

Maybe the APIs could also be redesigned so that mixing them could be
done with only symlinks..

Anyway, currently you'd do it like:

namespace private {
  prefix =
  inbox = yes # INBOX is in this namespace
  location = maildir:~/Maildir
}

namespace private {
  prefix = #mbox/
  location = mbox:~/mail
}

mboxes would then be under #mbox/
