Using perl-5.8.9 did not make p5-Mail-SpamAssassin building; I updated
perl to 5.12 (following the guide in UPDATING), but this wasn't enough
either; there was missing Perl/OSType.pm for building the port
p5-Module-Build; I ended up with updating perl to 5.14 (and all
depending p5-* ports with:

# portmaster -o lang/perl5.14 lang/perl5.12
# portmaster p5-

and this finally made p5-Mail-SpamAssassin happy;

it took me some hours to get that sorted out; I never liked perl and now
even less :-)
