--- Comment #4 from yuri@rawbw.com ---
npm first pre-builds locally, then places the result into another, separate
hosting location, and then during port build they just download and unpack it.

There are many NodeJS projects, you can't make everybody do this manually. And
the way I suggested with USES=nodejs circumvents the problem, and builds it all
in a close to normal way. Please note that the fetch is really a fancy fetch,
it doesn't compile anything.

This makes it a bit difficult to implement USES=nodejs, but easy to make many
ports based on it.
