Did it? Sorry about that. I've pulled down the new bsd.port.mk and the
fetch source and it looks like putting
FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS ?= -p
in /etc/make.conf will work with that setup.
Beware: fetch(1) says that setting FTP_PASSIVE_MODE in the environment
will force passive mode, but I don't see fetch.c actually carrying
through with that promise. (I'll make a note to send-pr this, but my
system is in a bit of a state at the moment.)
