Not off hand, you can use Postfix's transport maps to kind of fake being an 
LMTP proxy. That would require you to put another MTA hop in the mix, or 
replace your boarder MTAs with postfix. I'm not sure how your layout is, but 
postfix + LDAP can do some pretty nifty things when it comes to mail routing 
(I'm sure other MTAs can as well, but I'm mostly fluent with postfix). From 
postfix's perspective, one address could be delivered via LMTP to a Cyrus 
mail backend, while another address can be SMTP delievered to another MTA 
running on a UW IMAP backend. Routing can be switched on the fly by updating 
the LDAP entry. I kind of describe what I'm talking about in this post:

I have plans to wrap this up into a more formal howto, but haven't found the 
time yet. If you have any other questions/ideas, feel free to ask.

Cheers,
