[Christian Könitzer]

Hi

don't know if this helps, but here you can see my use flags and it worls 
on my system:

[I] mail-filter/spamassassin
     Available versions:  3.1.8 3.1.8-r1 ~3.2.0 ~3.2.0-r1 ~3.2.1 
3.2.1-r1 ~3.2.2 ~3.2.3 ~3.2.4 ~3.2.5 ~3.2.5-r1 {berkdb doc ipv6 ldap 
mysql postgres qmail sqlite ssl tools}
     Installed versions:  3.2.1-r1(06:48:52 27.08.2009)(berkdb mysql 
sqlite ssl -doc -ipv6 -ldap -postgres -qmail -tools)
     Homepage:            http://spamassassin.apache.org/
     Description:         SpamAssassin is an extensible email filter 
which is used to identify spam.

problably the

perl-core/DB_File

needs the berkdb flag...

and maybe you should start it with -D so you get an better error message.

cheers
