ports-tree

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-December/028650.html

in the list it says :

> > Try to set "HTTP_PROXY" & "HTTP_AUTH" variable:
> > 
> > # HTTP_PROXY=your.proxy
> > # HTTP_AUTH=login:pass
> > # export HTTP_PROXY HTTP_AUTH
> > # cvsup -L 2 my_supfile

(those old mail list sure are handy :)

perhaps this will help.
