I just got done with this, and it appears to work -- at least, the
bogofilter option came up in Evolution, and after tagging a few dozen
messages as junk there's a file ~/.bogofilter/wordlist.db that got
updated.

Now I need to see if things start showing up automagically in my junk
folder (and watching my junk (that sounds bad) for good mail).

I'll try to remember to update in a day or two about whether it actually
took hold properly.
