First let my say that I am not happy with the way the cgi part is
handled. However I don't know how exactly it can be improved;
suggestions documentation and patches are always welcome.

First, I don't understand why web data files are not stored on /var; the
fact that the apache ports put data-dist under /usr/local it's OK,
because those files don't change, but this shouldn't prevent you to put
you DocumentRoot in another place. I will change the port to have the
default CGI_PATH=${DSPAM_HOME}/CGI/
If you choose the CGI options in the OPTIONS screen, you will get :

You can define CGI_PATH to be /usr/local/www/data.
( make CGI_PATH=/usr/local/www/data install )
However I don't find this to be a very good idea because putting your
own files in data-dist has an unfortunate tendency to break apache
portupgrading.

Exactly what .htaccess file are you talking about ?

Read the README, it has a section about CGI.
Install Apache with suexec enabled, set up a virtualhost for your dspam
cgis, run them as user dspam (add that user / group to your system).
Here's a virtualhost definition as an example:
<VirtualHost dspam.example.com>
ServerAdmin root@example.com
ServerName dspam.example.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/vhosts/dspam"
User dspam
Group dspam
UserDir /var/httpd/dspam
ScriptAlias /dspam /usr/local/vhosts/dspam/dspam.cgi
ScriptAlias /admin /usr/local/vhosts/dspam/admin.cgi
PerlModule Apache::PerlRun
<Location /dspam>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun
PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload
PerlSendHeader On
Options +Includes +ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
AuthType Basic
AuthName "DSPAM Login"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/vhosts/dspam/conf/authpasswd.dspam
<LIMIT GET POST HEAD>
Require valid-user
</LIMIT>
</Location>
<Location /admin>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun
PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload
PerlSendHeader On
Options +Includes +ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
AuthType Basic
AuthName "DSPAM Admin"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/vhosts/conf/authpasswd.dspam
<LIMIT GET POST HEAD>
Require valid-user
</LIMIT>
</Location>
<Directory "/usr/local/vhosts/dspam">
Options +Indexes +Includes +ExecCGI
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
