Just a thought, but I had a problem with the dns proxy on my adsl-nat-router where certain applications were consistently failing to get DNS resolution, and similar applications were consistently working. It went away when I disabled dhcp, and entered the isp servers in resolve.conf To use wget look at FETCH_CMD, and related variables, in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. I think you also need to set NO_SIZE to prevent a fetch specific option being used.
