Use the following transport:

procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail"
user = ${local_part}
delivery_date_add = true
envelope_to_add = true
return_path_add = true
from_hack

and director:

procmail:
driver = localuser
require_files = ${local_part}:${home}/.procmailrc
transport = procmail_pipe
