Well, you can append messages to any file in mbox format.  Here's what I'd do
in .procmailrc assuming that INBOX is in mbox format:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmaillog

FROM="(^TO|^From[ 	]+|^X-From-Line:[ 	]+)"
H="([a-z0-9---]+\.)"
U="[a-z0-9---_\+\.\%=]"

PASS=2147483647

:0 :
*$ $PASS^0 ${FROM}${U}+@${H}*freebsd\.org
$HOME/freebsd

:0 :
*$ $PASS^0 ${FROM}${U}+@${H}*suse\.org
$HOME/suse

:0 :
*$ $PASS^0 ^TOcwaiken@users\.icubed\.com
*$ $PASS^0 ^TOwife@users\.icubed\.com
*$ $PASS^0 ^TOdaughter@users\.icubed\.com
*$ $PASS^0 ${FROM}friend1@where\.ev\.er
*$ $PASS^0 ${FROM}friend2@some\.where\.el\.se
$HOME/INBOX

:0
/dev/null

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does that help?
