I have ported fetchmail-1.8 to FreeBSD

Fetchmail is a full-featured IMAP/POP2/POP3/APOP/KPOP client with easy
configuration, daemon mode, forwarding via SMTP or local MDA, superior
reply handling. Not a mail user agent, rather a pipe-fitting that
seamlessly forwards fetched mail to your local delivery system. Your
one-stop solution for intermittent email connections. This is the
lineal descendant of and replacement for the old popclient program.

The fetchmail-1.8 includes hooks for Kerberos 4 based authentication
(KPOP). I'm not sure whether it is a problem. The author (Eric S.
Raymond) doesn't think so...

I uploaded the port tar file as:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/fetchmail-1.8-port.tar.gz

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Import the port into CVS ;-)
