I use Bogofilter within Procmail, so although your setup is not identical to 
mine, perhaps my script (created with a lot of help from David) will be useful 
to you.  You'll find it on 
http://userbase.kde.org/KMail/FAQs_Hints_and_Tips#Spam_filtering_on_an_IMAP_server

This does separate out the spam and the unsure mails.  I then have to folders, 
Bogotran_ham and Bogotrain_spam into which I drag the Unsure ones.  Once or 
twice a year :-) I get a definitely wrongly categorised message, and I put a 
copy of that into the training folders.  

I usually wait until I have around 100 spam messages, or until ClamAV tells me 
that one of the messages carries a virus or trojan, then I ssh to my server 
and run

bash /usr/share/bogofilter/contrib/contrib/trainbogo.sh -c -H 
/home/anne/Maildir/.INBOX.Bogotrain_ham/cur/ -S 
/home/anne/Maildir/.INBOX.Bogotrain_spam/cur/

(all on one line, of course).

Bogotrain has served me well over several years.
