I recently set this up myself, although mine is a system of 4 users w/
me being the only person with a personal setup. 

The way I went about it was to not try to run the system or the
personal.  But to run the system in /etc/procmailrc, and then run the
individual in my ~/.procmailrc.  You just need to make sure that you
correctly specify BOGOFILTER_DIR in both places, and access the proper
config scripts.

In typing this up it's occured to me how to do it all from the
/etc/procmailrc.

:0
* ? test -d $HOME/.bogofilter
{
	BOGOFILTER_DIR=${HOME}/.bogofilter

	:0 fw
	| /usr/local/bin/bogofilter -f -e -p -l -c $BOGOFILTER_DIR/config

}

:0 E
{
	BOGOFILTER_DIR=/var/lib/bogofilter

	:0 fw
	| /usr/local/bin/bogofilter -f -e -p -l -c $BOGOFILTER_DIR/config
}

Of course replace command line switches and directories as
appropiate.  But this will only run the user/system as appropiate and
avoid running bogofilter twice as I'm doing right now.
