Have you tried specifying multiple userids on one procmail call?  Something 
like
  mda '/usr/bin/procmail -d val kevin'
The procmail manpage on my computer leads me to think that that might work as 
expected.

If that works, I wouldn't worry too much about the "is" directive in your 
fetchmail configuration as I don't think it affects much (it might affect the 
one Received: header that fetchmail inserts in messages)
