The possibilities are:
a) Start dovecot-lda so that the process belongs to extra group (e.g. dovecot) and make the socket rw for that group. I don't know if Postfix can do this for system users..
b) Use filesystem setgid bit for dovecot-lda
c) Run via sudo
The b) and c) are explained in wiki in the "multiple UIDs" section (although for setuid-root rather than setgid-dovecot).
Oh, and
d) With v2.1 this works automatically
