Yes.

Dovecot & Postfix have no "hard" schema, or database definition, or 
particular fields. You need to create map files which tell each server 
how to use the information from LDAP (or any other database). Each 
server (Postfix & Dovecot) have their own configuration which is 
separate from each other. So you need to start with one or the other. 
Postfix questions should be asked on the Postfix list.

Everything you asked for above is easily doable - just start with one 
step at a time. Ask specific questions when you get stuck.
