yes, there is a way (using pam): use the module pam_mysql (google knows where to find it ;-)

set in /etc/imapd.conf:

imapsasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd

start:
saslauthd -a pam

and configure pam_mysql the way you want to use it, eg in /etc/pam.d/imap

#%PAM-1.0
auth     sufficient     pam_mysql.so    user=username passwd=mysecret host=localhost db=mail table=accountuser usercolumn=username passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 logtable=log logmsgcolumn=msg
logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host
account  required       pam_mysql.so    user=username passwd=mysecret host=localhost db=mail table=accountuser usercolumn=username passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 logtable=log logmsgcolumn=msg
logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host

I would recommend to read the Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradmin-Howto; i've taken my configuration from there (and im using SuSE8.2, so the paths are takem from there)
