Yes, there is an include directive (see the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf docs) but by default SA will load *ALL* .cf files from your site rules directory (usually /etc/mail/spamassassin), so includes at the local.cf level are a bit silly. Just put extra .cf files in the same directory and SA will load them.
Generally speaking, the include directive is only used at the user_prefs level, where a single file is parsed by default, not a whole directory. See also: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WritingRules
