Well, better a late reply than never. This is what I do, which allows me to
keep a list of IPs that are allowed to skip the reverse DNS requirement
(though I try to keep this as a temporary measure, and get in touch with the
legitimate companies that lack reverse DNS):

acl_check_helo:
[...]
        accept  hosts           = +known_mailhosts
        warn    !verify         = reverse_host_lookup
                set acl_c9      = reject_predata=yes $acl_c9
                set acl_c8      = Please see 
http://help.seattleserver.com/?page=email_reverse_dns - Reverse DNS records 
are required for sending mail servers, but your mail server, 
$sender_host_address, does not have one!
                log_message     = HELO (deny in PREDATA): No reverse DNS 
record present for $sender_host_address (claimed to be $sender_helo_name).
[...]
acl_check_predata:
        deny    condition       = ${extract{reject_predata}{$acl_m9}{$value}
{no}}
                message         = $acl_m8
                log_message     = PREDATA (deny): Rejected due to prior 
setting ($acl_m8).
                set acl_m0      = ${lookup 
pgsql{select "statistics_reverse_dns_insert" ('${quote_pgsql:
${recipients}}', '${quote_pgsql:${sender_address}}', '${quote_pgsql:
${sender_rcvhost}}')} {$value}fail}
        accept
