the akismet plugin needs a wordpress key and a couple settings in config.py. 
from the akismetcomments.py file comment:

     To use this plugin, you must also install akismet.py in your python path
     (in the PyBlosxom plugin directory is fine):
     http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#akismet

     Additionally, you will need to get a Wordpress.com API key:
       http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/10/19/api-key/

     Then, use this key to put put the following line into your
     config.py file:
       py['akismet_api_key'] = 'MYKEYID'

     Additionally, if you haven't set it already, you will need to set:
       py['base_url'] = 'mybaseurl'


there are more detailed instructions in the manual, but the version on 
pyblosxom.sf.net hasn't been updated to include them. will, that's probably a
(low-priority) todo item for us!

yup! it does verify that it's installed ok. if it's not, it will print an 
error to stderr.

speaking of which, steve, you're probably already doing this...but just in 
case, you might want to set the 'log_level' config.py setting to 'DEBUG' and 
monitor your log file, as well as your web server's error log, e.g.
/var/log/httpd/error.log or /var/log/apache2/error.log.
