Yes, I believe amavis-new 2.6.4 should be able to use the recent versions of SpamAssassin, including the coming 3.4.0 (currently in SVN trunk). Some of the newer SpamAssassin features may not be available though (like spam checking of large messages while still preserving a DKIM signature, or timing constraints allowing amavisd to run in a pre-queue postfix filtering setup).
