That should be qualified as "Is it possible to have Dovecot imap/pop
daemons listening on multiple ports for a single running instance."

You can run two instances of dovecot, each on a different port or
multi-homed listening address.  You can share libraries, binaries,
log files, but use separate configuration files, specifying different
ports/addresses/ssl-configs/auth/access parameters.  Then you can fire
them both up

 	dovecot -c /dovecot/etc/dovecot-1.conf
 	dovecot -c /dovecot/etc/dovecot-2.conf

That's the rough sketch of how to do it.
