Starting with v3.06, simply change the definition of PROCMAILRC in
config.h.  E.g.:

#define PROCMAILRC	"/usr/mail/procmailrc/$LOGNAME"

Or

#define PROCMAILRC	"/usr/mail/$LOGNAME/.procmailrc"

In the latter case, it might be a good idea to change the forward file
definition of sendmail to: /usr/mail/$LOGNAME/.forward as well.
