May not work for you, but...

The way I did this when I migrated was to run two dovecot instances, and
have perdition software on a front-end (could be on the same machine instead
of a front-end, I just happen to have a front-end machine to do it).

Perdition will query ldap for the info per user/connection, and send the
connection to the correct dovecot instance based on the ldap lookup.
Worked for me, your milage may vary...
