Nope. Evolution (at least 1.4.x versions and below) can filter on the
return value only -- there is no possibility to alter the message by
filters.

Thinking about this, I am not sure, if this will be feasible at all. The
imagination of a 100+ MB Inbox in mbox(!) format, getting new messages
appended, then being filtered and every single mail being deleted and
appended with new headers again, then the junk mails being moved, really
scares me. ;)

I am not sure about forthcoming Evo 2.0 with built-in Junk mail
filtering yet, but I will deal with this soon. Let's see how this will
perform.
