>Description:
net/vncviewer defines a pre-fetch target to download the sources. It uses 
FETCH_CMD, which seems not to be defined by default any more:

test -f /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/vnc-4_1_2-unixsrc.tar.gz ||  (cd 
/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles &&  -o vnc-4_1_2-unixsrc.tar.gz 
http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi\?product=free4/src/unix\&acceptLicense=1\&filever=4.1.2\&filetype=tar_gz\&haveDetails=1)
-o: not found

>How-To-Repeat:
make sure, ${DISTNAME}.tar.gz is not in ${DISTDIR}, then "make"
>Fix:
Although this can probably be fixed, I suggest to ask the user to download the 
archive manually (like e.g. in lang/sun-*). If the distributor imposes these 
restrictions (even if the license is GPL), and the user still wants to use that 
particular software, he has to suffer.
