You may add arbitrary headers via auth_http_header directive.  
E.g.:

mail {
    auth_http  ...

    server {
        listen    110;
        protocol  pop3;

        auth_http_header  X-Auth-Port  110;

        ...
    }

    server {
        listen    995;
        protocol  pop3;

        ssl on;

        auth_http_header  X-Auth-Port  995;
        
        ...
    }
}
