I tried setting up Dovecot's auth default section as you described,
with both authdb and userdb set to 'passwd.' It let the authenticated
session start on the POP side, but I got consistent authentication
failures on the client side that the passwords didn't match.
I don't have any more time to mess with it this morning, but I will
make it a point to try 'shadow' when I get in this evening. It's
possible that NetBSD wants to work that way.

$ uname -rs
NetBSD 3.0

$ egrep -A 1 -B 2 'passwd \{' dovecot.conf.ssl
# In many systems nowadays this uses Name Service Switch, which is
# configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
passdb passwd {
}
# In many systems nowadays this uses Name Service Switch, which is
# configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
userdb passwd {
}

Without problems.
Kind regards,
