A quick search at www.freebsd.org would have found this; anyway the short
answer is:
Make the following changes in /etc/make.conf (scroll/search down to the
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE line):
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE= YES
FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS= -p
Make sure to uncomment the first line (it's commented out by default as I
recall).
