While the other replies will work, they are a lot of work unless you set
these environmental variables in your .cshrc or .bashrc.  It's easier I
think to do the following by editing /etc/make.conf

	- uncomment FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=	YES
	- add "FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=-p"
	- add "HTTP_PROXY=  address of proxy"
	- add "FTP_PROXY= address of proxy"

For more info, take a look at the fetch man page.
