You can try downloading the file manually,

   # cd /usr/ports/distfiles
   # fetch -p ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/somewhere/somefile.tgz

The '-p' option will use "passive" ftp to get the file. This is will
probably solve your firewall problem.

An alternate way to do this is to set the following environmental
varaible,

   # setenv FTP_PASSIVE_MODE                       # (for csh or tcsh)

   # FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=""; export FTP_PASSIVE_MODE  # (for sh or bash)

And then "make" from the ports directory as usual.
