Funny you ask. I'm about to upgrade my FC2 systems from SA 3.1rc1 to rc2.

You can easily build your own RPM using the tarball from the SA website. 
Change the ownership of /usr/src/redhat to your favorite non-root user:

chown -R ken.ken /usr/src/redhat

Make sure you have the rpm-build package installed. Then run the command 
given on the SA download page:

rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4.tar.gz

You'll now have an RPM under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS.
