In ports/sysutils/tarsnap/Makefile:

20	# Workaround for bug in libfetch(3)
21	FETCH_DEPENDS=  ${LOCALBASE}/bin/wget:${PORTSDIR}/ftp/wget
22	FETCH_CMD=  ${LOCALBASE}/bin/wget
23	FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=  --no-check-certificate
24	DISABLE_SIZE=   yes

This has nothing to do with ports/Mk and fetch would still be used if
the maintainer hadn't overridden it.
