If you needs limiting ports fetch rate on freebsd 5.3 or later, then downloading wget from ports/ftp/wget/ and using this script:
$cat /usr/local/scripts/wgetscript.sh

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/wget --limit-rate=10000 $2

and add to you /etc/make.conf next string:

FETCH_CMD="/usr/local/scrpits/wgetscript.sh

I think this may work on 4.* as well.

The original poster also sent me this script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$sz=@ARGV;
for($i=0;$i<$sz;$i++)
{
$url=@ARGV[$i];
if($url =~ m/(https?|ftp):\/\//i) {
`/usr/local/bin/wget --limit-rate=10000 $url`;
exit;

But it seems to be missing some }
