Simply hardcoding mimedefang.pl like:

-$Features{'Virus:CLAMAV'}   = ((('/usr/pkg/bin/clamscan' ne '/bin/false') and (-x '/usr/pkg/bin/clamscan')) ? '/usr/pkg/bin/clamscan' : 0);
-$Features{'Virus:CLAMD'}    = ((('/usr/pkg/sbin/clamd' ne '/bin/false') and (-x '/usr/pkg/sbin/clamd')) ? '/usr/pkg/sbin/clamd' : 0);
+$Features{'Virus:CLAMAV'}   = 0;
+$Features{'Virus:CLAMD'}    = 0;

works fine, but I feel that this shouldn't been needed.
