The typical configuration of fetchmail just feeds the mail back into
the local MTA for delivery. That should take care of your situation,
and is exactly what I do myself.
My .fetchmailrc looks like:
### Lowell'g configuration for fetchmail
## universal
# (to make it look kosher coming into port 25)
set invisible
# get mail for lowell.gilbert@comcast.net
poll mail.example.com proto pop3
username "lgilbert" password "example"
ssl
antispam 451

I don't think so. I can't imagine what would be FreeBSD-specific
about any such configuration.
