I have tested the machine on a "vanilla" isp connection and MacPorts works fine. Is anyone able to tell me whether the connections made during the fetch command are on any particular port? Once I have completed my research I would be more than willing to write a FAQ pertaining to setting up MacPorts within a secure network.
Most ports' files are downloaded via HTTP (some use ftp, and a few use cvs or svn).
It sounds like you might need to redirect your http traffic through a proxy, in which case you can simply set the http_proxy environment variable and things should 'just work' for you.
