Sorry, you're right - you want 'make -k fetch BATCH=yes' (the variable
is to avoid any interaction from things like config dialogs).  You
might be able to get away with using -j for concurrent fetches too,
although there's a possibility of corrupting a distfile if two ports
that share the same distfile fetch it at once.
