You should be able to configure your sendmail via the sendmail.mc (and 
sendmail.cf) file(s).  You will want to include the following line in 
sendmail.mc:

mailer(procmail)dns

Mine comes right after the:

mailer(smtp)dns

line.  Then all you should have to do is rebuild your sendmail.cf file 
(via: make sendmail.cf) and have sendmail reload its configuration 
files.  (If you're lucky, you won't even have to stop/restart the 
already running sendmail daemon....)

In my system, these files live in /etc/mail
YMMV
