Yes. AMaViS drives SpamAssassin. Run AMaViS as a TCP daemon (often on port 
10026) and have PostFix forward mail to it using the content_filter directive 
and a separate PostFix TCP listener (canonically on port 10025) with the
"-o content_filter=" option. My main.cf has lots of restrictions (which 
wouldn't make much sense via fetchmail since they invariably just cause mail 
loops), so the corresponding master.cf entry looks like this:

localhost:10025 inet n  -       y       -       -        smtpd
    -o content_filter=
    -o local_recipient_maps=
    -o relay_recipient_maps=
    -o smtpd_restriction_classes=
    -o smtpd_client_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
    -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
    -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8
    -o strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes
