Indeed, this is what my /etc/exim/exim.conf contains about Procmail;
-snip-
# This transport is used for procmail
procmail_pipe:
command = "/usr/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}"
# This director runs procmail for users who have a .procmailrc file
procmail:
transport = procmail_pipe
require_files = ${local_part}:+${home}:+${home}/.procmailrc:+/usr/bin/procmail
-snip-
So, Exim is using Procmail automaticly for incoming mail. That's nice,
I think. Or, at least I didn't have to do anything to get Procmail
working, so I think it's very nice. ;-)

Well, I'm sort of everything-has-to-be-neat guy. :-) ~/.procmailrc
only contains some variable definitions. ~/.procmail/rc.mailsort,
on the other hand, sorts the incoming mail to correct mailboxes and
kills the spam from the known addresses (I still haven't tried
SpamAssasin, NoSpam or my own "spam sniffer" recipes). I just think,
that it's more clear that way. For me, that is, of course.
