Which version of SA are we talking about?
spamd from p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.3.0_3 from ports seems to work fine here, although since I normally invoke SA only via amavisd as a plugin, I don't run spamd normally. If that's the version you are talking about, that line is around here:
# bug 5379: spamd won't start if the temp preloading dir exists;
# be sure to remove it just in case
if (-d $tmpsadir) {
rmdir( $tmpsadir ) or die "spamd: $tmpsadir not empty: $!";
}
...which suggests $TMPDIR might be set to something invalid?
