You don't need to. Spamassassin reads all files in the /etc/mail/spamassassin directory ending with .cf. So when you restart the daemon it reads the newly added or changed file.
That seems to be the beauty of it. Be warned though the last file in the directory will overwrite any existing rules that other files may have loaded. So, as someone else mentioned to me, you need your most critical rules to be in zzz.cf (or something like that).
