Be cause there is nothing to fetch. From the Makefile for modula-3,
DISTNAME= modula-3-3.6
CATEGORIES= lang
DISTFILES=
MAINTAINER= jdp@polstra.com
DEPENDS= ${PORTSDIR}/lang/modula-3-lib
We can see there are no DISTFILES for it. Look like this port is a
'front-end' of sorts for the modula-3-lib. If you type, 'make' rather
than just 'make fetch,' it will start to grab things,
% make
