You can use --disable-static to get rid of the static libraries.

One more thing, I think it makes sense to enable SQL, GSSAPI,
and LDAP authentication support as plugins and add SQlite3, MySQL
and PostgreSQL drivers since these are all delivered by OI.
Install library/openldap, database/mysql-51/library,
database/postgres-82/developer as prerequisites and add
--with-ldap=plugin, --with-sql=plugin, --with-gssapi, then
--with-sqlite, --with-mysql, --with-pgsql. The OpenLDAP, MySQL,
PostgreSQL plugins files should then probably go into three
separate subpackages to prevent dependencies of the main package
on them, should be
LIBEXECDIR/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so

LIBEXECDIR/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so
LIBEXECDIR/dovecot/dict/libdriver_mysql.so
LIBEXECDIR/dovecot/libdriver_mysql.so

LIBEXECDIR/dovecot/auth/libdriver_pgsql.so
LIBEXECDIR/dovecot/dict/libdriver_pgsql.so
LIBEXECDIR/dovecot/libdriver_pgsql.so

respectively.
