A quick search at www.freebsd.org would have found this;  anyway the short
answer is:

Make the following changes in /etc/make.conf (scroll/search down to the
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE line):

FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=       YES
FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=      -p

Make sure to uncomment the first line (it's commented out by default as I
recall).

Brett
