At this time, you would need to add additional ports or make options 
into a PBI module by hand.
For your example:
1) Use EasyPBI to create a module for mail/claws-mail
2) Open up (home-dir)/EasyPBI/Modules/claws-mail/pbi.conf
3) Edit the PBI_MAKEOPTS line to read: 
[PBI_MAKEOPTS="WITH_SPAMASSASSIN=yes"] (quotes needed)
4) Save the file and then use that module to build your PBI with EasyPBI

I have thought about adding this type of functionality to EasyPBI in the 
past, but it is quite difficult to automatically detect the exact build 
options that are available for a given port without looking at the 
MakeFile for the port (in our example freshports only lists SPAMASSASSIN 
as a make option, the actual makefile shows the actual variable that 
needs to be set is WITH_SPAMASSASSIN).

While this is not impossible functionality to add, it will take quite a 
bit to get working right, so I decided to get other aspects of EasyPBI 
working properly first. Eventually I probably will come back and revamp 
how EasyPBI lets you edit the pbi.conf of the module, but it might not 
be for a little while.

Thanks for the suggestion though!
