Yes it is.  Use fetchmail to grab mail from the pop3/imap sever, then
you can use procmail to filter.  Set your mail client to read from the
local mail spool rather than via the pop3/imap server.

No, procmail can be used with *all* mail clients.  The trick is to
separate mail delivery from mail reading.  If you're not running your
own MX host, use fetchmail to grab mail off the remote server.
