I don't believe a port would be the right way to go since you would then be
splitting the code base between Perl and Java implementations, introducing a
maintenance chore of keeping the two implementations in sync.

A mailet could invoke the Perl implementation, either via one of the
Java->Perl invocation APIs such as JPL (haven't tried it, just found it with
a google) or a simple exec.

What does SpamAssassin do that isn't already available in James? Perhaps
just that extra functionality, if any, could be added as one or more mailets
if its felt to be useful.

Incidentally, once the ScriptedMailet support I recently submitted is
integrated into the build you could also use that, but this relies on BSF
(Bean Scripting Framework) which currently only supports Perl on Win32
platforms.
