That should be qualified as "Is it possible to have Dovecot imap/pop
daemons listening on multiple ports for a single running instance."

You can run two instances of dovecot, each on a different port or
multi-homed listening address.  You can share libraries, binaries,
log files, but use separate configuration files, specifying different
ports/addresses/ssl-configs/auth/access parameters.  Then you can fire
them both up

 	dovecot -c /dovecot/etc/dovecot-1.conf
 	dovecot -c /dovecot/etc/dovecot-2.conf

That's the rough sketch of how to do it.

Yes, exactly.

I will have to look into it. I'm afraid that I would have to fiddle
around with the default unit files. Also I'm not completely sure how
this would work with all of the configuration files that have been split
off into small chunks and get included at some point. This is probably
going to be messy rather quickly :'(.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Best regards,
