Oh, so you mean you want to put it in /etc/make.conf because that's
where people will look for build stuff and can't be bothered to read
the fetch manpage?

Ok, then please put in a comment there telling them to set
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE in their environment or /etc/login.conf.  That way we
can have the best of both worlds.

I do not agree that we should add a kludge to bsd.port.mk so setting
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE in /etc/make.conf would make it only if you are using
ports.  People will sooner or later try to run "fetch" by itself or
run pkg_add, just to discover that it doesn't work and say "but I set
it in /etc/make.conf!" ;)
