man spamassassin
See the section Configuration Files. The first path mentioned for
Default Configuration Data should be the sa-update one. SA version is
embedded in that path, inside /var/lib here, IIRC /var/db or something
on FreeBSD.
The last one in that block of paths should be where SA expects the stock
rules. The first existing one from that list wins, anything else will be
ignored.
spamassassin -D can help in identifying bad rule sets being picked up,
and where SA ultimately looks for the cf files.

Drop the bad update first, and revert to stock. Re-install it from
ports, if need be.
