I am the maintainer for the FreeBsd SA port and about to release patches
that change the default state directory from /var/lib/spamassassin to
/usr/local/lib/spamassassin
This makes it more consistent with FBSD's directory structure (they
don't use /var/lib for anything).
The reason its important, is if you do use something like 'sa-update
--updatedir /usr/local/share/spamassassin or ../etc/mail/spamassassin,
THREE sets of plugins are loaded:
#1, custom: /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin
#2, site: /usr/local/share/spamassassin
#3, the updates.
if you apply this update patch, and run sa-update, then restart spamd or
amavisd-new, only TWO sets of plugins will be loaded.
If you update, or deinstall/reinstall it will erase any old
/var/lib/spamassassin directory and its contents.
Minor issues also including checking minimum versions of certain
utilities based on problems or security issues, including forcing gnupg1
to at least 1.47.
If anyone would like a tarball of these (pre-release) ports file, you
can download it here (for the next week, or until the official ports
collection is updated)
I will be taking any (helpful) suggestions till Friday when I will send
this to ports for updates.

Instructions for install, just unzip it into
/usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin.
(offer void where prohibited or taxed, your mileage may vary, use at one
risk)
