If I am understanding you correctly, you are currently using ingo for your
filtering rules and your ingo rules are stored in your preferences 
store, which
is a mysql databse.

If this is correct, than you don't have to do anything to convert - ingo has
stored these rules in its own internal format (which is not tied explicitly to
any filtering backend).  You may have to manually write a script that will
actually produce the procmail script/download it to the correct location for
each user so that every user does not have to login and click on "Generate
script", but as far as playing with the internal data structure you don't have
to do anything at all.
