I ran in to a similar situation, and what I did was to modify
Mk/bsd.port.mk so that it would create a list of URLs for the files I
needed to download.  This list was then imported into GetRight to
download the files from a Windows Machine that had Internet access.

What I did was to duplicate the fetch-recursive target, renaming it to
getright-recursive, then modified the getright-recursive target to
return the first 9 sites and the ftp.freebsd.org site as a URL.

Then to create the list, I would use:

cd /usr/ports/www/apache2
make getright-recusive > /mnt/dos/apache2.grx

I don't have a diff of this change with me at the moment, but I can
send it tomorrow.
