why don´t you start the fetchmail-daemon when entering the correct
runlevel? e. g. a script called fetchmaild in /etc/rc.d/init.d/
containing something like:

---8<--
  #!/bin/bash

  ### path to binary ###
  FETCHMAIL_BIN="/usr/bin/fetchmail"

  ### time between two polls in sec ###
  POLLTIME="300"

  ### file whith host, user, password definitions ###
  FETCHMAILRC="/etc/fetchmailrc

  ### starting the daemon with logging to syslog ###
  ${FETCHMAIL_BIN} -d ${POLLTIME} -f ${FETCHMAILRC} --syslog
