It would no doubt improve your overall setup, and you'd be able to use e.g. quotas and sieve. I'm guessing fetchmail call any arbitrary executable and then provide the mail on stdin? If that works, I think you can just call "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver".
... And that's what worries me. With procmail I can plonk the mail down into the folder I want. Where is dovecot going to 'deliver' to?
To the defined mailstorage for the user - a maildir for instance, where mail goes into <dir>/new/.
I ask this because I have a non-standard arrangement. Having accidentally wiped out /var/spool/mail in past upgrades I now have my inbox under ~/Mail and my folder tree in subdirectories thereof. It all gets backed up nicely.
That is easily set up in dovecot too. I think you might have to migrate your procmail recipes to sieve though.
