No, at least in cyrus 2.3 just "/usr/sbin/ctl_mboxlist -v" will scan the 
entire filesystem and look for mailboxes that are not in the mailbox 
database or vis-versa.  
eg.
# /usr/sbin/ctl_mboxlist -v
'user.ddjdjdj.498' has a directory '/var/spool/imap/L/user/ddjdjdj/498' 
but no DB entry

depending on how many mailboxes you have, it may take quite a while to 
run.  But you should be able to take that output and use your favorite 
text processing utility to take the first field and pass it to 
reconstruct.
