You can specify a delivery agent in the .fetchmailrc file with the "mda" option.
Alternatively, set up fetchmail to drop mail in /var/spool/mail/<username> and make yourself a .forward that looks like this: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #harpo" where "harpo" is your username. This is what I do -- simpler to let fetchmail deliver everything by the normal smail routes and let smail forward it on to procmail.
