First, I apologize for sitting on my attempt so long, work got busy.  
But just now I did a diff between your result and mine, and some notes:

- I added a CONFLICTS?=     ${PORTNAME}-1.0.* because using portupgrade 
on other ports such as postfix tries to pull in dovecot-1.0 as a runtime 
depend whether or not 1.1 is already installed and that makes a mess.  I 
also added a similar line to the dovecot 1.0 port, which was probably 
the more important place.

- Otherwise, you port looks extremely similar in important functionality 
to mine.  Although one of the reasons I did not submit it earlier was I 
had hoped to add an OPTIONS entry and appropriate pkg-plist support for 
some of the newer optional support offered by 1.1, but I don't use any 
of them myself.  Its probably better to have a dovecot 1.1 port even 
without that part done.
