There's an addon to qmail-scanner that does an RHS domain lookup on the connecting MAIL-FROM, can easily be modified to also check the HELO, and Received headers.
http://rhs.mailpolice.com/usage.php
It will not check the urls in the message body though, which is the primary use of surbl.
Few of the spammers provide relevant domains in mail-from, ehlo/helo or received headers.
They do usually use real domains in links in the body though, and that is what surbl focuses on.
To do that effectively, you need to parse out actual links in the body, rather than just search for strings matching a pattern. There is a lot of url-obfuscation done in message bodies that you don't have to handle in headers.
At the moment, you need spamassassin to really take advantage of surbl from qmail-scanner.
I'd love to see integration of one of the surbl spamassassin-plugins, or similar functionality, directly in qmail-scanner though.
