Sure. Whenever I program a voicemail entrance (i.e. after a busy signal or 
timeout on the Dial) I allow for an escape that accesses VoiceMailMail:

exten => s,1,Wait,2
exten => s,2,Answer
exten => s,3,Wait,1
exten => s,4,Background,myvoicemailprompt
exten => s,5,Voicemail(s1000)   ; My personal voicemailbox
exten => s,6,Hangup

exten => 0,1,AGI,VoicemailMain
exten => 0,2,Hangup

This way, I can call my own phone, wait for the voicemail to kick in and 
then interrupt it to get to my messages.

Ofcourse VoicemailMain can be made a little smarter to allow direct access 
(without mailbox/password) when it is being called from a trusted line 
(your cellphone, for instance).
I use a little AGI script for that.
