Nope, you can't do that.  With your setup, the users are virtual and  
all user's mail is owned by cyrus.  The only solution is to have  
Cyrus run procmail.

This is complicated and having user-define procmail files is further  
complicated by teh fact that you need a mechanism for the user to  
edit the file, but for the permsission to end up where procmail will  
read the file.

I'm not familiar with cyrus enough to answer this.  I do this in  
postfix/coureir/mysql, but I have no way for a user to edit their  
own .procmailrc file, I just have to make any desired changes myself.
