Sure.

Configure fetchmail correctly to poll the external pop3 server. Each
mail it has downloaded is passed to the local mta (exim) via localhost
port 25.
In addition, your exim needs to be configured in a way that local
users can receive emails.

On the web, you'll find tons of information about how to create a
syntactically correct ~/.fetchmailrc; and maybe your exim has already
been setup in the right way by debconf.
Otherwise, exim documentation can easily be found via
<http://www.exim.org>.

Regards,
Christian
