In a stock FreeBSD install, all ports require root to both fetch and build.
You have customised your system in a non-standard way so you are getting
non-standard behaviour which doesn't match you expectations.

IMO (which is equally valid to yours), no-one should need to run
"cd /usr/ports; make -i fetch" so there's no problem to solve.
