I'm putting my potted Mandevilla in a unheated celler for the winter. Do I need to water it while it's dormant?

Yes, check it every week or so to make sure that there is just enough moisture to keep the roots from totally drying out. Depending on the humidity levels and the size of the plant and the container, you may only be adding a cup or so of water every two or three weeks.
