$ cd /usr/ports/www/zope
$ make
=> Zope-2.7.4-0.tgz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/zope.
=> Attempting to fetch from http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.7.4/.
^C
$ 

Generally, when make tries to fetch a file, it will tell you where that file
should end up, and where it's getting it from.

If you manually download
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.7.4/Zope-2.7.4-0.tgz to
/usr/ports/distfiles/zope from somewhere with an unblocked connection, then
make will verify that the file has the correct checksum, and if so, won't try
to fetch it since it's already there.

(This is a bad example, since this port uses http anyway... but you get the
idea.)
