On my system, gurgitate-mail is called by postfix (in place of 
procmail), but I think it's easy to call it through fetchmail using the 
-m switch.
This way fetchmail will pass the mail to gurgitate-mail which will 
transfer it in the mailbox of choice using user's rules, and the MUA 
just has to read these mailboxes.

Moreover fetchmail can be run as a daemon, checking for new mail every 
few minutes, or on a "one shot" basis (i.e called by the user or the MUA 
when there's a need for new mail check).

I should say that the conversion from my old procmail rules has been 
much than easy, and since that day I have no problem at all...
