Would it be possible to introduce such a feature in dovecot, so that connections can be denied based on a dnsbl lookup (where the precise dnsbls used are configurable)?

Let's back up a bit. This does not seem like a feature that Dovecot needs.
Rather, what problem are you trying to solve? Maybe there is an existing or better way to accomplish it.
Based on John's recent thread on postfix-users on the same general subject, I'd guess he's trying to stop rouge/malicious connections.
