In a word, no. In slightly more verbose, nope :-)

I am awaiting a future release that is supposed to implement message  
body amendment via milter that is supposed to break everything from  
the microwave to MailScanner but you are safe for the time being.

Assuming you have installed from port just portupgrade Postfix and  
rebuild from the port (cd /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner make && make  
deinstall && make install) MailScanner will see you good to go and  
preserve your configs. Diff the new MailScanner.conf from the old  
one, change as required and you are back up and running in 20 minutes.
