Simple. On the client, just use gEngfuncs.pfnGetCvarFloat("mp_aquashotgun").
This is, in fact, exactly what the CVAR_GET_FLOAT macro does on the server, so
you could do something like this:
#ifdef CLIENT_DLL
#define CVAR_GET_FLOAT(s) (gEngfuncs.pfnGetCvarFloat(s))
#endif
and then use your existing code.
