You can set passive mode with: FETCH_CMD= /usr/bin/fetch -ARrp in make.conf. However I just noticed that I don't currently have the -p option set, and I've not had a problem, despite being behind a similar firewall, and an external NAT router. I'm not sure why it works; possibly fetch automatically fails-over into passive mode.
