Yes this is possible.  I have came across patches to authenticate 
against a mysql database for sendmail, qpopper, and uw-imap.

For us I have the user home dirs (for IMAP basically since they can't 
login into the shell for our purposes) as /var/imapd/username

But this can be arbitrarily set as one of the fields in the database.

If this is what you are looking for, email me off list and I'll try to 
get you the URL's for all the patches.
