Last time I checked... SpamAssassin was a unix product, although
DeerSoft were supposed to be adding the same engine into their MDaemon
mail server.  With this in mind... no... TB! cannot pipe mail to
SpamAssassin.  Although I guess if you were running TB! on linux, you
could use a filter to export the mail to text, then run the SpamAssassin
filter on the exported mail, then reimport (deleting the original), and
running the filter on the headers if altered (ie the scoring system).

Here is the method I use, its a reverse spam filter in a way.  Create a
series of filters to move the mail you do want to keep... as such:

High traffic Lists/Contacts (at the top)
Medium traffic lists/contacts
Low traffic lists/contacts

And what is left to drop out the bottom should normally be spam, or
somebody that isn't in your address book.
