I was in a hurry to forward email to our internal exchange server before my vaction, the best way I found after too much googling was to use http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/mail/smtpsend-1.02.tgz and
:0 |smtpsend -to=user@pdinc.us -server=exchange
Was there a way to do this without smtpsend?

From the procmailrc man page:
The action line can start with the following characters: ! Forwards to all the specified mail addresses.
So your recipe could probably be replaced by: :0 ! user@pdinc.us
Although there is no obvious way to specify the smtp server (I assume it either sends via localhost or, more likely, uses the MX from dns for the target domain).
Hope this helps
