couldn't find a PATH entry to add /usr/local/bin in configure.

PATH is a Unix environment variable.  See:
http://wks.uts.ohio-state.edu/unix_course/intro-59.html

Your PATH is normally set in a startup file in your home directory, such 
as .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc, or .cshrc.

The easiest thing to do as a quick fix just to get the compile to work 
would probably be this:
  PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
  export PATH

Try removing config.cache

no file "config.cache"  This might be config.status.  I did a make
distclean in between runs of   ./configure which seemed to be dumping
any file configure created.

OK, as long as you're getting a new configuration that's fine.

Any chance you copied the directory from another machine where you'd
compiled fetchmail before?

Not positive but I don't think so.  no fetchmail files found on locate.
Why what are you thinking?

I'm surprised you were even able to get a Makefile out of configure if it 
couldn't find yacc (or bison).  One explanation would be that the Makefile 
was leftover from a previous run on a different machine.
