well, if you just look at the .spec file included in dovecot's src.rpm
- you will find its already built with mysql support.
having said that, I had to get a dovecot install going with mysql

against pam, and setting up pam_mysql to handle the backend.
pam_mysql is available at http://centos.karan.org/ in the Extras repo,
for both i386 and x86_64 CentOS4.
