The on-line handbook in section 4.5.2 'Installing Ports' says:
The ports system uses fetch(1) to download the files, which honors
various environment variables, including FTP_PASSIVE_MODE, FTP_PROXY,
and FTP_PASSWORD.
So try setting FTP_PASSIVE_MODE in your environment.
man ports and man fetch may also be worth a read.
Cheers,
Nick.
