No, currently you need one file per mailbox.

If the accessing user has the "k"-permission, there might be problems
with
the unix file permissions. Latter logs errors. I think I remember
something that you cannot give ACLs to the top most root of some mail
storages, e.g. in Maildir Maildir/dovecot-acl applies to the INBOX and
there is no file for the "/" or something like that. Can you create a
new
mailbox below, say, the INBOX?
