Why not use the .qmail-default to process your skeleton directories? Have it call a script that can test for the existence of the directory and then copy the skeleton as appropriate.
I guess it would depend on where in the process a non-existing user directory gets created. If vdelivermail does it or if it's done higher up the chain. If vdelivermail creates the initial directory then you'd want to call your script afterwords. This is all assuming you're just putting users into a database and letting vpopmail auto create the directory when a user checks their email or gets their first email.
