yes - simply put their configs in each of their $HOME/.fetchmailrc
probably add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
su - craig -c 'fetchmail' &
su - preston -c 'fetchmail' &
# cat /home/craig/.fetchmailrc
defaults
set daemon 180
set postmaster craig
set nospambounce
set nobouncemail
set logfile /home/craig/fetchmail.log
poll mail10.alevelhigher.com
proto imap
localdomains azapple.com
user "MY_USERNAME"
pass "MY_PASS
batchlimit 25
YMMV
