I found out the process is not that complicated. For the imapd package it 
works the following (compile from CVS):
1. get the openpkg source rpm
2. extract the rpm to /kolab/RPM/SRC
3. copy the kolab-specific patches to /kolab/RPM/SRC
4. apply the kolab.patch. kolab.patch applies to the imapd.spec and enables 
the other patches to be applied on build
5. start the build process (rpm -ba imapd.spec)

the imapd-murder.patch does not work because it doesn't use the right style of 
configure switches. It inserts an --enable-murder=yes|no while the script 
wants a plain --enable-murder. The simplest way to get murder compiled is to 
modify kolab.patch to insert the --enable-murder. This should be 
nondestructive as it only enables building of the murder-specific binaries 
(which aren't employed by default).

You can also compile murder using 2.0.3. That's actually even easier:
/kolab/bin/openpkg rpm -ivh imapd-2.2.12-2.4.0_kolab3.src.rpm
cd /kolab/RPM/SRC/imapd
in imapd.spec modify line 236 following:
        --with-pidfile=%{l_prefix}/var/imapd/cyrus-master.pid \
        --enable-murder

then compile using
/kolab/bin/openpkg rpm -ba imapd.spec
... and you get your rpm with murder included.

However I wasn't able to get a kolab/murder blend running. The main problem is 
that kolab recreates the imap configuration when adding a user and dumps my 
modified imapd.conf and cyrus.conf. Is there a way to disable that?
