When I moved from EIMS to Dovecot I used imapsync. It worked well but  
might be an issue if your user base/data is very large.

I help maintain some of the mail related ports at MacPorts.

Are you going to be using the Dovecot pre-installed on OSX 1.6 and  
manage users with Apples server tools?

If not, consider using MacPorts to install the pieces. Even if you  
want to manually build look at our Portfiles for examples of how to  
get things patched and compiled on OSX.
