Ok, found it, looks good, maybe that's best.
Thanks, this is exactly why I posted this.

Always ;-)
Also patched the pkg-message to inform users what happened.

Yes, did, found it, also edited/patched pkg-list to get rid of old ones
on deinstall.
A portupgrade or deinstall, reinstall cleans everything up.
CONFIGURE_ARGS= SYSCONFDIR="${PREFIX}/etc" \
CONTACT_ADDRESS="${CONTACT_ADDRESS}" \
LOCALSTATEDIR="${PREFIX}/libdata/spamassassin"

Again, only reason is that sa-update is REALLY documented poorly, and
when I first use sa-update without options, it trashed the SA install
because the ../lib/{version} directory was missing files, and I tried
something else.
(seems find now, must have been just a one time bad update, bad timing)
Confused the heck out of me, and I consider myself reasonably
intellegent.
Still is.
