Yes, required_hits can be a user preference. Anything in man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf other than privileged or administrator settings can be done as a user preference. User preferences can be SQL (as you are doing) or in a file (~/.spamassassin/user_prefs by default), but it's all the same to the SA config parser. If there is no user preference for required_hits, SA will default to using the one to local.cf, and if none is there, it will default back to 5.0 (from 10_misc.cf, but don't change that file unless you really know what you're doing).
