You can run a small proxy application on your client computer that will connect to your mail server, get the email, run SpamAssassin on it, then deliver to your email client.

SAProxy by Bloomba is a Windows proxy server that's easy to set up and works quite well. It's $30.
Pop3Proxy (http://mcd.perlmonk.org/pop3proxy/) is a open source (perl) proxy server that seems to mostly work for Windows machines. Setting it up is *not* point-and-click easy, however.
