you could include config file fragements from the fs...

specifically suppose %a expands to the local ip address, %p the local 
port, and %d the reverse dns result... then you could have a vhosts config 
element like this:

vhosts = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%a.%p:/etc/dovecot/vhosts/%a

which would look for .../a.b.c.d.port first, if that fails then look for 
.../a.b.c.d ...
