After some help on the CentOS list, I may have found the problem:

rpm -e --nodeps perl-NetAddr-IP
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
-- change all enabled = 1 to enabled = 0 temporarily (seems like
yum priorities is going to be a good idea) --
yum install perl-NetAddr-IP
/etc/init.d/spamassassin condrestart
Stopping spamd: [ OK ]
Starting spamd: [ OK ]
That seems to have done it. Does that make sense? Should
I report this to the RepoForge people?

Sorry I missed that!
This gives only docs:
/usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51
/usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51/README
> locate INET6
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm
/usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51
/usr/share/doc/perl-IO-Socket-INET6-2.51/README
/usr/share/man/man3/IO::Socket::INET6.3pm.gz
Using the find command from below (for fedora since
this is CentOS) I get
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm
This locates that package, but correct me if I'm wrong, I
don't think it finds the OTHER package that is creating
the duplicate subroutine definition for AF_INET6.

sa-update channel list
Hello, I'm using SpamAssassin for years now to get rid of spam. Now I wonder which sa-update channels you're using by default to improve your scan results. Are you sticking to the default 'updates.spamassassin.org' channel only or would you recommend to use other channels too. Unfortunately the SARE and OpenProtect rule sets are not updated any more. Thanks Juergen -- Mail: juer...@eisfair.org

or, you could just delete (manually) IO-Socket-INET6 (make a backup first!)
on freebsd (with perl 5.10.1):

on fedora, try:
find /usr/lib/ -name 'INET6*'
(back them up) you should see them as above. but, yum won't know they
are gone.
might be in /usr/lib/perl5/{version}
and /usr/lib/perl5{version}|vendor}
ask on linux users group how to get yum to rm a dependency without the
package.
on freebsd, it would be something like 'pkg_delete -f
p5-IO-SOCKET-INET6' (the -f to force it to be removed)
and, pkgdb -F (to FIX the package database and remove the dependency link)
