The RPM should generate the certificate on installation. Try "rpm -q 
--scripts dovecot" and look at the commands in the %postinstall section. On 
my FC2 system this is in that section:

if [ ! -f /usr/share/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ]; then
/usr/share/doc/dovecot-0.99.13/examples/mkcert.sh &> /dev/null
