Yes, this is handle by annotations.  The DAV:displayname property is one 
of the few "live" (WebDAV term) that are stored in the annotation 
database.  I'm not sure if Cyrus 2.5 (or 3.x for that matter) will allow 
you to set the *DAV annotations via IMAP.  You might want to take a look 
at the following URL on the Cyrus server and see if you can use it to 
create your calendars: /dav/calendars/user/<userid>

Or take a look at http_caldav.js in the source for the HTTP MKCOL 
command that creates the calendars and sets the displayname nd description.
