When you install a cpan package outside of the FreeBSD ports/packaging system, a entry is made in /var/db/pkg/, so you can deinstall it with pkg_delete. For some reason the same thing happens when you compile SA rules, a package is created for the installed binaries. I don't see the point myself since all the installed files are in a SA specific directory. I guess you could just delete /var/db/pkg/bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-CompiledRegexps* after running sa-compile.
