I'd like to know if there's a way to provide fetchmail with the password in
a way other than with the .fetchmailrc or
with the stdio input.

You can put the password in $HOME/.netrc, following the standard
.netrc syntax.

I've not been able to find the corrsponding command line option (I think
that there's not one).

There isn't one -- that would be insecure.
