It seems that the Maildir format used by Dovecot is a standard, right? Has anyone written something to archive mail in Dovecot format maildirs? I have a script that seems to be for Cyrus IMAP but it doesn't seem to work.

What kind of archiving do you want? Courier uses the exact same maildir format that Dovecot, there might be something available for it.

I'll write a Perl program if there is nothing available but I am concerned about dovecot's index files - do I need to do anything to get dovecot to rebuild them?

No, Dovecot updates indexes itself when needed.
