I'm also planning a pretty decent-sized technology transition in the near future (switching to a shared-storage system with two servers, etc, etc), and I could be convinced to perhaps try and change my quotaing system at the same time - for instance, switching to filesystem quotas instead of vpopmail quotas, if that will help.
I'm using filesystem quotas with Maildir format mailboxes on RHEL3. I'm using the 0.99.x series of dovecot while waiting for a chance to test out the 1.0 series.
I'm also using squirrelmail for webmail access. I use the disk_quota plugin to display the filesystem quota usage per user with out any apparent problems.
The scary possibility that I guess I have to prepare myself for is that dovecot Just Doesn't Do It, and I need to figure out some other way of informing the clients of their quota usage - possibly a script that goes and recurses through maildirs and sends little emails if users are at a certain percentage of their actual usage, or something...I'm certainly not looking forward to writing that, but it's not a fate worse than death...
I also do this. at least RHEL3 comes with a program called "warn_quota" that can be run from cron. I actually re-wrote it in perl to implement localization since I work in Japan at a Japanese company and needed to report the quota status in Japanese.
