Webmin was configured to do automatic updates and it was running "make fetchindex" on the ports tree. I disabled that and now it has stopped trying to download the index. I only managed to track that down after noticing that the fetchindex target was the only other thing that could have downloaded the index file, and modifying /usr/ports/Makefile so it would write the contents of /proc/${.MAKE.PPID}/cmdline to a file so I could see what was invoking make. The .MAKE.PPID variable was pointed out to me on IRC. Thanks, Naram Qashat
