For users with lots of mail, yes.
One of our users, for instance:
-rw------- {user} {group} 1314816 Oct 21 14:52 auto-whitelist
-rw------- {user} {group} 4386816 May 20 15:55 auto-whitelist.db
This seems to be the largest, but I'm not certain.
We've been running a global Bayes db:
-rw-rw-rw- {user/group} 4546975 Oct 21 14:59 global_bayes_journal
-rw-rw-rw- {user/group} 2778 Oct 21 14:59 global_bayes_msgcount
-rw-rw-rw- {user/group} 5242880 Oct 21 14:58 global_bayes_seen
-rw-rw-rw- {user/group} 5074944 Oct 21 14:58 global_bayes_toks
This has recently dropped down from ~10M for _toks.

Heh. What I ended up doing is creating this script:
---
#!/bin/sh
# Move user's SA config from /home/{user}/.spamassassin to
# /var/SpamAssassin/{user}
nul=""
case "$1" in
$nul)
echo "usage: move-sa-user [user]"
echo " Username is REQUIRED"
exit 1;
;;
*)
mkdir /var/SpamAssassin/$1
mv /home/$1/.spamassassin/* /var/SpamAssassin/$1/
rm -rf /home/$1/.spamassassin/
ln -s /var/SpamAssassin/$1 /home/$1/.spamassassin
chown -R $1:mail_pop_only /var/SpamAssassin/$1
chown $1:mail_pop_only /home/$1/.spamassassin
echo "User's SA config moved."
;;
esac

Which, along with a set of scripts called daily from cron, allows me to
make sure that users' mail quotas aren't significantly affected by large
AWL files.
(I currently have a few accounts set up to expire spam more than 10 days
old; that comes out as ~15-18M of spam. ~200-250+ spams daily. Ugh.
"Default" expiry is any account over 17.5M gets the spambox trimmed to
28 days.)

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to
ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my
apartment it is.
