Looks like a permissions problem on the fetchmail config file,
/usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc. What do you get when you run

 $ ls -l /usr/local/etc/fetchmail*

? 

I have just freshly installed fetchmail on a new system, and I see this:

 -rw-------  1 fetchmail  fetchmail  130  7 Sep 21:24 - /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc
 -rw-r--r--  1 fetchmail  fetchmail  130  7 Sep 21:24 - /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc.sample

If you see something different, try setting the permissions and ownership to
what you see here, or try reinstalling the port.
