Just add a second dovecot entry, with a differently service name, to
your master.cf, e.g.

dovecot20 unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot2.0/dovecot-lda
 -f ${sender} -d ${recipient}

Then create a transport(5) map and list your 'Dovecot 2' users there, e.g:
john.doe at example.com	dovecot20:

BUT, with Dovecot v2.0 you should better use Dovecots lmpt service.
