Does anyone have fool-proof documentation for this fool on how to configure repos and what operations to perform to move from the distro RPMs to the GF ones without breaking stuff?
You'll want to use yum shell to remove the CentOS stock packages and replace them with the GFD ones in a single step.
I've documented the process for postfix here, dovecot works pretty much the same in that regard.
One caveat about dovecot is that the config is not as reliably backwards compatible to previous major versions as postfix is. You will likely have to do some tweaking of settings in order to get it to run again. If you're on a production system and this worries you then I recommend you fire up a test box or VM and trial it out first.
