My setup looks like this (using spamd/spamc):

- Install SA from ports (mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin)
    This will put a file named spamd.sh-dist in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
    Rename that file to spamd.sh, and make it executable.

- I use procmail, and have the following as the first recipe in 
  ~/.procmailrc:

-----8<------cut here------8<----------

# check for UCE, UBE with SpamAssassin
:0fw
|/usr/local/bin/spamc

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
caught-spam

--------->8------cut here--------->8---------

HTH,
