These don't return anything.

/usr/bin/fetch: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD),

Returns nothing.

I am unable to use fetch to download the packages over ftp, but wget works just
peachy over ftp.  I don't have any gui clients, but firefox seems to work
without a hitch as well.

I'm currently in the process of rebuilding world to track 6 STABLE, in hopes
that it will do some good.  I'll give your workarounds a shot, it sure beats
manually grabbing packages.  Every little bit helps!
