The usual way to do that sort of thing is to have Gnus contact your
mail server directly, using a pop or imap mail-source. You could
probably set up a pre-command on a file-based mail-source to run
fetchmail if you really wanted, though; C-h v mail-sources points at
(gnus)Mail Source Specifiers in the manual.
