This isn't much different from running it on a single host. You  
probably only want to use Alias to point from each domain to the  
single Horde install.
If you use Horde 3.2, you could leverage the virtual host feature that  
allows vhost specific configuration.

You could use the vinfo hook to convert between both user name styles.
