Try using the FTP_LOGIN and FTP_PASSWORD variables. If all else fails
you can try the FETCH_CMD variable in /etc/make.conf and change it to
use ftp, wget etc. Oh, not sure if that was a typo above but it should
be:
 MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?=
ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
