This is described in question C4 in the fetchmail FAQ (at least for
version 4.3.6).  Basically you need to install ssh on the client and
sshd on the mail server ("mailhost") and put something like this in
your .fetchmailrc:

poll mailhost port 1234 via localhost with pop3:
        preconnect "ssh -f -L 1234:mailhost:110 mailhost sleep 20 /dev/null";

The version of fetchmail in 1.3.1 might be too old for this.
