Yes.
Set her up as a local user then delete her account from the work
server. You should also be careful when setting up power users as
these correspond to domain level access on the server.

Well you could do that with just a standard workgroup install, but yes
the way it is now you can go into work and use the domain profile to
log in at work, and when away change the domain to your local machine
name and you will log in locally.
