Can the PHP script call any other program?  If so, then just get it to call
sb_filter.py (or sb_bnfilter.py) with the message (the whole message would
be much better than just the headers), and parse the output (grep for
X-Spambayes-Classification:).

It's much the same (except you can ignore the output).  You just pass a
different option to sb_filter/sb_bnfilter.
