Figured it out. In order to install SA3.0 without installing the Mail/Spamassassin module, you also need to add a param for LIB (apparently a " use lib ..." in the perl coding isn't enough) ie
% perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/someplace/spamassassin/sausr \ SYSCONFDIR=/someplace/spamassassin/sausr/etc \ LIB=/someplace/spamassassin/mylibs
