Yeah, that can be done, but it involves a couple of steps:

The optional file '/var/qmail/users/assign' maps addresses to users, so
you'd basically need lines in there similiar to:
+ryan_:ryan:uid:gid:/home/ryan:_:

Fortunately, qmail ships with a tool qmail-pw2u that will loop through your
password files and create (according to rules you define) entries suitable
for the assign file.

If it sounds like something you'd want to investigate, I'd check out the man
pages for qmail-pw2u and qmail-users.  qmail man pages are all over the
web.
