if you compile MIMEDefang yourself, you can specify another quarantinedir. 
IMHO, you can change the location by setting: 
$Features{'Path:QUARANTINEDIR'}
anytime. E.g. at the top of your filter or in mimedefang.pl.

My .spamassassin is not located in MIMEDefang's spool dir. But I use the 
demon. You can most likly use a symlink, I mean:
On startup you setup the tmpfs and before starting MIMEDefang, e.g. in its 
init.d script, you create the symlink to the permanent spamassassin 
location.
