Well, it's not dovecot's responsibility to create non-standard paths.
If you require such a path, it's up to you to do this prior to starting
dovecot during boot.
On Linux/systemd systems there are a few standard mechanisms to create
required directories/files on transient filesystems like /tmp or /run,
but I do not know about such a mechanism on FreeBSD.
On FreeBSD, I have created a simple startup script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ (see below) which creates extra temporary files
and directories and that runs *before* all services (just a few) that
require these temporary files. I think this is a better solution than
altering the service's startup script, since this will be overwritten
during updates/upgrades.
There are quite a few ports on FreeBSD that have startup scripts not
doing well with preparing or cleaning up...
