You can emerge Dovecot with "noclean" set so that Portage won't remove 
all of the good stuff when it's done:

# FEATURES="noclean" emerge -v dovecot

Then you should be able to find the sources in e.g.,

/var/tmp/portage/net-mail/dovecot-1.1.7-r1/work/dovecot-1.1.7

Slightly unrelated: is the list of options to mail_location documented 
anywhere? There are a few mentions of LAYOUT=fs and CONTROL=wherever in 
the wiki, but I just checked mailbox-list.c and most of them were new to me.
