Sure, you can pipe your mail through arbitrary programs (like vacation)
via commands in your .procmailrc. At the end of your .procmailrc, after
all of your mailing list sorting recipes and the like, add this:
-- begin --
:0 c
* !^FROM_DAEMON
|/path/to/vacation
-- end --
The c flag on the first line makes the recipe a non-delivering carbon-copy
recipe; the message is sent through vacation, but then procmail continues
delivery instructions afterward, so that the mail ends up saved in your
normal inbox.
