Mirrors are now defaulting to https. Building the R package without curl as a
dependency disables libcurl support in R when building with poudriere. Without
libcurl, R has issues installing packages from https mirrors.

I patched the port to add ftp/curl as a build dependency on my poudriere server
and the problem resolved. Maybe there's a better solution?

R session without patch:
> install.packages("R6")
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Error in download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) :
