 > where can i set it up so that when i install something from the ports 
(i.e make install), it will go through a http proxy? i have tried setting 
it in  /etc/make.conf ... but nothing.

vi /etc/defaults/make.conf

search for fetch and you will see an option to use fetch through either a 
ftp or http proxy

FTP_PROXY=
HTTP_PROXY=
