I can't really think of how I would implement this in any generic way. I
can only think of ugly kludgy solutions. 

There is a pretty simple way to do it though: create a script/binary
which checks HOME/MAIL environment itself and creates the folders, then
executes Dovecot's imap binary. Then set mail_executable in config file
to your wrapper.

That could be done with ACLs, once Dovecot supports them.
