If you didn't use pkg_add, nothing. It checks what you've installed with the standard tools >>> I just now checked the pkg directory. There's a man directory there >>> with fetchmail docs in it.

Probably the easiest way is to check the Makefiles... ah: # NOTE: The fetchmailconf program (an interactive program for # writing .fetchmailrc files) requires Python, found in the Ports # Collection under lang/python. The fetchmail program itself # does not need Python, so there is no RUN_DEPENDS for Python in # this Makefile. Just to see if this was correct, I made and installed the package. I had no problems. This was with the latest version (updated 26 July). If you have problems with that version, let me know.
