On a side note, very few desktop mail clients support TLS certificate authentication. Make sure Thunderbird supports this feature before you spend too much time on it. TLS certificate authentication is mostly used for MTA-to-MTA auth.
I used client certificate authentication with self-signed certificates with Thunderbird 3, Postfix and Dovecot that come with CentOS 5. Worked fine.
