They need manual training to the same extent that Bayes needs it.

Bogofilter is pretty easy to use without a plugin. Typically it's just
a matter of piping your mail through bogofilter -e -p
 
In general the most efficient way to score-in an external filter is to
run it separately and have SA score the result -  by scoring
headers or  otherwise. The reason for using the Bogofilter plugin
is that it plumbs Bogofilter into SA autotraining. Personally I'd only
rely on that as a last resort.

One thing that can make bogofilter more complementary is to configure
it for multi-word tokenization. It makes it  good with spam that
has spammy language, but few spammy words, which Bayes can struggle
with. This is also the kind of spam on which most custom body rules are
targeted.
