A bit of a hack, but:

Deliver all mail to Procmail, and have a default rule to deliver to Cyrus at
the end of /etc/procmailrc.

Then create a .procmailrc for each local user, which ends with delivering to
their $MAIL location.

You might also be able to define $MAIL per-user, and just deliver to $MAIL for
everyone; have the default set to cyrus, and each local user has it set to
their mailbox.

Though I admit, I like the idea of virtusertable better :>
