I have finished my investigation of this issue. and It seems that the
linux ports are to blame. they overwrite ARCH on multiple occasions when
MACHINE_ARCH=amd64. This causes issues with other ports, such as the
distfiles are unable to be fetched. I have written numerous patches[1]
and tested them in my own environment. All is now working as expected. I
have CC'd the freebsd-emulation list on this email, as I would like
others to see/test these patches. Once again, these will only effect
systems running FreeBSD with an amd64 ARCH. Please contact me with any
questions/concerns.

Regards,
    Frank
