These days I'm doing exactly the same.  My method is:

 * cyrus services on a different machine (but could be the same, important
   are different IP addresses)

 * installing http://vergenet.net/linux/perdition/ at the front serving all
   users, redirecting them to *their* location, old or new

 * moving "box-by-box" (sometimes bulks of boxes) to the new machine/services
   thereby instructing perdition to keep up-to-date.

This way no normal user will notice anything, just the experienced see that
their POP/IMAP services change their banners ;-)
