You can put FETCH_USING=fetch on mk.conf, and it will not introduce circular dependency.
Thanks, that did it.I didn't know about this option. I tried setting FETCH_CMD to wget, but that didn't work. How about making "fetch" the default method? It seems to have less dependencies than tnftp. And I don't think a lot of people will be using tnftp directly, if it gets installed as a pkgsrc tool.
