Do you talk about "your OS account" procmail delivering to 
"your OS account" mailbox/maildir?

YES => consider using "personal" dovecot.conf file (e.g. ~/.dovecotrc)
       with changed log files location and make deliver in your procmail
       scripts use it

../deliver -c /home/anfi/.dovecotrc

P.S. I use such approach with full success.
