We had the same problem and ended up writing expect-scripts that were 
called via exec() from within php. It's not very pretty but it works.

That's exactly what we're using. There is no problem in telling Cyrus to 
use pam. And there's a pam_mysql module which you can use.
I have a small installation sheet, the documentation of the last server 
I installed. If you wish, I can send it to you. It's not a full blown 
documentation but  it might have some information to get you started.

Cheers, David
