I am running various machines (on CentOS 5.5 to 6.3,) with dovecot
from 1.1.1 to 2.2beta1,  the latter by compiling and installing into
default /usr/local. All machines have selinux disabled :)!!
Highly suggest reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading
since there are gotchas for most upgrades that may or may not apply to 
your case.
