This path isn't configurable after installation. If you want to change

Did you also give configure --prefix=$HOME? It should have put
localstatedir under home directory.

I guess not, because you wouldn't need this either when prefix was set
correctly.

Also since you're already compiling Dovecot yourself, would be a good
idea to use a newer version than rc15.
