Oh, sorry, didn't know you were on *BSD but I suppose I shouldn't have 
assumed Linux. In Linux-PAM, pam_wheel's documentation is very similar 
to your pam_group, with the addition of an option:

use_uid
     The check for wheel membership will be done against the current uid 
instead of the original one (useful when jumping with su from one 
account to another for example).

It would be useful with Dovecot too, because you don't want your 
pam_group checking Dovecot's group membership - and this may be why it's 
not working for you. If you have a pam_succeed_if or equivalent, perhaps 
you could try that.

Cheers,

John.
