Hello Nataniel, No, there is nothing currently setup that will make dbmail look at the system password/shadow file, you have to have aliases setup in dbmail's aliases table (eg. you can just make aliases for all the accounts that point to the same INBOX). There is work being done for seperating authentication and message storage, and it'd probably (eventually) be possible to make it check there for passwords, but even then I bet you'll need to have aliases for all accounts (there is nothing in the password file that tells where to deliver mail to). IMHO, that's one of the nicest features of dbmail over most mail systems - you don't have to give your users an actual OS login.
I think there may be scripts around either in the distribution or that you could find in the mailing list archive that will convert a 'conventional' mail system to dbmail, including all users/aliases being setup and mail getting loaded into the db - you might look for those.
