I was installing a port and fetch(1) was 93% through d/l a 6MB file when

If you have dynamic allocated IP on you provider side, it will most of the time
doesn't continue. If you have static one, it can continue very well - i have such configuration, and it works great.
 

I tried sending it a SIGCONT but that had no effect. Eventually I sent it
SIGHUP which caused it to then try to d/l the file from another server
which, unfortunately, is much slower than the original server it was using.

So, is there anyway, in this situation, that I can make fetch(1) continue
with the d/l?

If you have trouble to download big file, do it manuall via reget command on any ftp client or
with fetch -Rr URL.
If you already making fetch from the ports, do next think: copy destination file in /usr/ports/distfiles to another filename (or hard-link it somehow), when interrupt fetch
and manually execute fetch -rR URL -o destfile.
