Don't know about 'fetch', but 'wget' has the --http-user=user and
--http-passwd=password options.

To use wget instead of fetch for your ports system, add 'FETCH_CMD=wget'  to
your /etc/make.conf.

fetch does offer similar functionality.  See the ENVIRONMENT section of the
fetch(3) manpage.  (The command-line program is fetch(1), but it uses the
fetch(3) syscalls.. etc).
