I have a 2.2.8-STABLE box running IPFW & NATD.

I have FTP_PASSIVE_MODE= YES in /etc/make.conf on my workstation
(4.0-CURRENT) and am successfully using passive mode ftp with ncftp and
cvsup. However, when I do a make install in /usr/ports/dir/port-name I
do not get a successful transfer and get a logged src TCP port 20
attempt in syslog. 

I thought uncommenting the above in make.conf would do it but it has
not. Fetch has a -p option to use passive mode. How do I get the
convenient use of "make install && make clean" in ports to work through
ipfw without adding "allow tcp from any 20..."? Please save me from
downloading all the src by hand!
