From
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html:

"The ports system uses fetch(1) to download the files, which honors various
environment variables, including FTP_PASSIVE_MODE, FTP_PROXY, and
FTP_PASSWORD. You may need to set one or more of these if you are behind a
firewall, or need to use an FTP/HTTP proxy. See fetch(3) for the complete
list."
