I have found the line in mimedefang.pl that was causing my problem:

   6079         $SASpamTester = Mail::SpamAssassin->new({
   6080             local_tests_only   => $SALocalTestsOnly,
   6081             dont_copy_prefs    => 1,
=> 6082             LOCAL_RULES_DIR    => $LOCAL_RULES_DIR,
   6083             userprefs_filename => $config});

Line 6082 passes LOCAL_RULES_DIR as an argument to the new()
method/constructor but this does not show up in perldoc Mail::
SpamAssassin as a valid argument. Commenting out that line (which, by
the way does not appear in earlier versions of mimedefang) results in
the SURBL lookups being done again:

X-Spam-Score: 10.209 (**********) DCC_CHECK,HTML_20_30,HTML_MESSAGE,
MANGLED_RATES,MANGLED_SAVELE,MIME_HTML_ONLY,URIBL_WS_SURBL

Also the tcpdump does verify traffic now going to the local caching
rbldns server.

I checked to see if that line was being added by the FreeBSD ports
scripts, but upon investigating the source distro's copy of
mimedefang.pl.in I see that line in there as well.

FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9
SpamAssassin version 3.0.1
  running on Perl version 5.8.5
