You can change the command-line parameters for fetch in the 
/usr/ports/Mk/ somewhere (grep for FETCH).

Or you could try the 'trickle' port, which allows you to apply bandwidth 
limits to more or less any command line application whether they support 
it or not. You use it like you would use time(1), as a prefix on the 
real command line.
