Install an MTA (sendmail or postfix or exim) on your home server, and tell fetchmail to deliver the mail through that MTA rather than directly into your mailbox. Then you can set up spam filtering either in the MTA, or you can call spamassassin (or run spamd as a service and call spamc) from your local delivery agent, e.g., add recipes to the $HOME/.procmailrc file. Alternately -- and you may already be doing this -- have fetchmail deliver through procmail, in which case see above about spamassassin.
