Here's what question #1 in the SawFish FAQ has to say about the matter:
1. Why is it now called Sawfish?
Because the old name (Sawmill) was already being used by another
company, who were in the process of registering it as a
trademark.
The rename should be mostly painless, all old binaries still
work for the time being, but will be phased out over time.
Where before you would execute a program called sawmill*,
replace it by sawfish*. E.g. sawmill becomes sawfish, and
sawmill-client becomes sawfish-client.
Your ~/.sawmill directory will automatically be renamed
~/.sawfish unless it would overwrite an existing file. Both
~/.sawfishrc and ~/.sawmillrc will be checked currently (though
only one will be actually loaded).
My apologies for any inconvenience caused.
