The correct fetch.ignore_sslcert command solved my problems. In regards to the args command I thought I might be able to pass command line args to the utility that downloads packages. In MacPorts what is used to download packages? Is it curl?

It is curl, but I don't think there's a way to pass arbitrary arguments to it. I'm not even sure whether it's called as a command- line utility or used as a library. I think if you need some special functionality to download something, then that functionality should be built into MacPorts base and made available via the fetch object, like fetch.ignore_sslcert.
