That is mostly correct -- in that the PostProcessor may not be useful for you.  
However, you can write your own parser for the POST data and use that (you do 
not HAVE to use the PostProcessor API, it is just there for convenience).  So 
the correct answer is that you can do the HTTP portion of SOAP with MHD, but 
that there is no specific support for parsing the SOAP content type (which I 
was not aware was different, which is why I misleadingly mentioned the 
PostProcessor in the first place).
