Thanks so much all.  I was missing a few items:

protocols = imap # thanks to Timo Sirainen

# thanks to Noel Butler
service imap-login {
  inet_listener imap {
    port = 0
  }
  inet_listener imaps {
    address = *
    port = 993
  }
  service_count = 1
}

Here is my final doveconf -n with listener successfully running on 993:

# 2.0.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.2.5-grsec x86_64 Debian wheezy/sid ext4
auth_debug = yes
auth_mechanisms = plain login
auth_verbose = yes
first_valid_gid = 1030
first_valid_uid = 1030
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log
last_valid_gid = 1030
last_valid_uid = 1030
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "
mail_debug = yes
mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir
passdb {
  args = /home/vmail/%d/etc/passwd
  driver = passwd-file
}
protocols = imap
service auth {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
  }
  user = root
}
service imap-login {
  inet_listener imap {
    port = 0
  }
  inet_listener imaps {
    address = *
    port = 993
  }
  service_count = 1
}
service ssl-params {
  type = startup
}
ssl_cert = </etc/apache2/ssl/cert-mwjones.com.crt
ssl_key = </etc/apache2/ssl/mwjones.key
userdb {
  args = /home/vmail/%d/etc/passwd
  driver = passwd-file
}
verbose_ssl = yes
