I run this from ip-up.d, it is a shell script:

------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if ifconfig|grep ppp0; then
        if ! ps ax|grep fetchmail|grep -v grep; then
                fetchmail -d300
        fi
fi
-----------------------------------------------------

Substitute 'fetchmail -d300' by any fetchmail command you like.
