Doesn't the UW pops3 server do that? I believe it at least used to use the imap server as a backend. (Though it may have done so by evec(2)ing imapd(8) rather than via tcp; does dovecot support that method of imap access?)

Yes, Dovecot's imap process talks to stdin/stdout. All configuration is read from environment variables, mostly it needs just USER and maybe MAIL if it can't figure that out itself.
