No there ain't a tool to tell you to which extension a function may 
belong to.

As the extensions tend to have functions with the extension name, so 
that the common part of the functions name and search for it with

apt-cache search imap | grep php

and you would have a good chance to see the extension as part of the 
result, sure not all extensions do have this the uniformity in function 
names and not all are included in the official ubuntu/debian repository.
