Does that make sense?  Anyone aware of a POP3 program that has this
ability?

No, it doesn't. POP is not involved in any way with the sending of
email. It is only used to retrieve stored mail from a mail server.

Nevertheless, check out `fetchmail'.  It retrieves stored mail via POP3
or IMAP4 and then hands it off to a local MTA for re-delivery.  It's then
up to the MTA to invoke procmail, not the other way around, though you can
probably come up with a fetchmail configuration hack to run procmail
directly.
