Is it possible to include the .forward recipe and junk reject recipe into
the same .procmailrc file?

I'm trying to understand the instructions on
http://alcor.concordia.ca/topics/email/auto/procmail/ , but there says that
"if you have a .forward file, it will supersede your .procmailrc, so if you
want to use procmail, remove your .forward file.".

You misunerstand.  If Procmail is the delivery agent for your system, you
do not need a .forward file to run procmail (although you can have one).
If you have a .procmailrc, it will be detected.

If Procmail is not the delivery agent, you need a .forward that sends your
mail to Procmail.
