I'm not sure there is a correct way but you can change
horde/config/registry.php
by assigning a value to name or a variable or changing the
translation.  All three should work although I haven't tried the
translation.  An example that I have used follows:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
   $vdomain =
strtolower(preg_replace('/^mail\.|^www\.|^www\.mail\./i', '',
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST
']));
} else {
   $vdomain='encontacto.net';
}

$this->applications['horde'] = array(
     'fileroot' => dirname(__FILE__) . '/..',
     'webroot' => $webroot,
     'initial_page' => 'login.php',
     'icon' => $webroot . '/graphics/horde.gif',
//   Change
//    'name' => _("Horde"),
//   to
     'name' => $vdomain,
     'status' => 'active',
     'templates' => dirname(__FILE__) . '/../templates',
     'provides' => 'horde'
);

You can also modify templates/login/login.inc around the
printf(_("Welcome to %s"),

The templates and themes should do just about anything that you
want.

I hope this helps,
