Tagging building entrances would not be "tagging for a special  
renderer", except in areas where the location of the entrance is  
obvious (such as densely built cities where there is no space between  
the buildings).

It sounds like --add-pois-to-areas is close to what you need. Or  
perhaps there could be some extension in the polygons file that would  
instruct mkgmap to generate POIs for matching polygons, as someone  
suggested. That would allow you to control which POIs to introduce.
