My problem was that the default Gentoo ebuild for procmail didn't add
lmtp support. I ran the ebuild step-by-step instead of with emerge, and
at the right spot, tweaked things to tell it to add lmtp support.
My problem was that I don't have telnet installed at all on the machine,
so I couldn't take the obvious step of telnet'ing into the lmtp port.
The Gentoo telnet ebuild includes the server as well as the client, and
I didn't even want telnetd at all on my machines. I ended up using
putty from a different machine into the lmtp port. (I had to bind the
lmtp server to a lan port, instead of loopback, to do this.)
