Yes, procmail already uses rename(), so it works out of the box for AFS Maildirs. I use procmail tio send mail through spamassassin before dropping it in maildirs. You have to make sure that qmail-local has AFS permission to drop mail in ~/Maildir/new though. Also, qmail-local needs AFS permission to read ~/.qmail-*.
