I am the maintainer for the FreeBsd SA port and about to release patches 
that change the default state directory from /var/lib/spamassassin to 
/usr/local/lib/spamassassin
This makes it more consistent with FBSD's directory structure (they 
don't use /var/lib for anything).

The reason its important, is if you do use something like 'sa-update 
--updatedir /usr/local/share/spamassassin  or ../etc/mail/spamassassin, 
THREE sets of plugins are loaded:

#1, custom: /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin
#2, site: /usr/local/share/spamassassin
#3, the updates.

if you apply this update patch, and run sa-update, then restart spamd or 
amavisd-new, only TWO sets of plugins will be loaded.

If you update, or deinstall/reinstall it will erase any old 
/var/lib/spamassassin directory and its contents.

Minor issues also including checking minimum versions of certain 
utilities based on problems or security issues, including forcing gnupg1 
to at least 1.47.

If anyone would like a tarball of these (pre-release) ports file, you 
can download it here (for the next week, or until the official ports 
collection is updated)
I will be taking any (helpful) suggestions till Friday when I will send 
this to ports for updates.

Instructions for install, just unzip it into 
/usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin.

(offer void where prohibited or taxed, your mileage may vary, use at one 
risk)
