Perhaps it could be as simple as only updating existing rules for your installation? In other words, you would have to download the CF file and install it first (but you would do this anyways to test!!!). Then sa-update could simply parse your rules directory and update rules found there accordingly. The only catch I see is 'locking' a particular CF rule file which could be addressed perhaps by a file preface?

Then the user could add a file to their local rules directory that included just the files they want. It might look something like: include /var/lib/spamassassin/version/updates_rulesemporium_com/70_sare_html0.cf ... That's a little messy so perhaps SA could add a new include directive that looks in the local state directory. Something like: include_state updates_rulesemporium_com/70_sare_html0.cf
