I'm not aware on any function you need to specify the passwd layout. So a short solution would be a patch to dovecot.
A more general solution could be a separate scheme beside the existing auth backends http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase or a mechanism to specify passwd fields as you suggested.

Hello Andreas,
I am well aware of the several possibilities around passwd and userdb. The thing is I want to avoid using scripts or an external binary (which would be possible) for performance reasons. I think the internal passwd file handling from dovecot would be best. It should be pretty easy to do a patched version where only the fields are replaced by the ones my passwd files use.
