Ports that use wget instead of fetch

A quick survey of ports that use wget instead of fetch to get the
distfile:
audio/ventrilo-server/Makefile
- needs POST, which fetch does not support
biology/gmap/Makefile
- distfile does not exist on master site, project web page also
missing, unable to locate with Google
devel/looks/Makefile
- distfile does not exist on master site, but other ports using the
same master site work fine with fetch
devel/subclipse/Makefile
- works fine with fetch
sysutils/sge/Makefile
- needs cookies, which fetch does not support
textproc/javacc/Makefile
- works fine with fetch
x11/rxvt-devel/Makefile
- both master site work fine with fetch, but one of them doesn't have
the distfile; should use sourceforge instead
x11/rxvt/Makefile
- one master site (planetmirror.com) out of three is broken, the other
two work fine; should use sourceforge instead
I've attached a patch for the ports that I've been able to verify work
correctly with fetch. I'd appreciate it if the maintainers of the
remaining ports would add comments to the Makefile explaining why wget
is necessary.
