Um... install the port, create a .forward file, and set up .procmailrc?  
There are more complex ways to use it, but I haven't tried them.  I
looked at some "packaged" versions of procmail setups, and found them
too complex to mess with--scoring and weighting and stuff.  My setup
just filters things, and does a pretty good job of it.

The nice thing about procmail is that it has all the hard stuff already
handled--dealing with headers or the body of the message, locking, and
so on.
