I have to upload csv file fields into Sharepoint 2010 list using powershell. I am working in windows XP machine.

When i am trying to add-pssnapin 

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell

It throws exception as

"The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell' is not installed on this machine."

Is it possible to work with Sharepoint Powershell cmdlet just by installing Pssnapin or by placing the necessary dlls in some location and load it?

I think the only way is to Enable-PSRemoting on Sharepoint server, then from XP computer:

Enter-PSSession -ComputerName sharepointservername
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell

In this way you can manage remotely your sharepoint server

Edit:
