Dovecot v1.1 will have a better and easier support for shared mailboxes.
But it should be possible to do what you want with v1.0 too:

1. Create symlinks to the shared maildir and make sure the filesystem
permissions are wide enough so that all the users can read/write to the
directories.

2. Enable ACL plugin and create dovecot-acl file limiting the users'
access to read-only.
