Is it possible to for a domain e.g. www.myclient.com to have a sub directory hosted on a completly different (our) server?
They don't want to point subdomain.myclient.com to our servers so they want it as folder www.myclient/subdomain/
Thanks in advance.

The only way to get a subfolder like /blog to go to another server is with a redirect, and Google doesn't like that as much. To do so, in your domain's zone file, create an A record with "blog" and point it at the IP of your Wordpress server.
Files are organized by storing related files in the same directory. In a hierarchical file system (that is, one in which files and directories are organized in a manner that resembles a tree), a directory contained inside another directory is called a subdirectory.
As discussed in the comments, your only option is a Proxy. Everything else (Like mod_rewrite / Alias) will do a header redirect, and expose the target address to the user.
However, Apache's proxying doesn't seem to be that complicated. The most basic example is
ProxyPass /mirror/foo/ http://backend.example.com/
Note that a proxy will of course double your traffic, because every byte requested will have to be fetched from the remote machine.
