At the moment we don't have a good solution for this.
Have a look at http://gnats.netbsd.org/45680.

Personally, I think that we have to allow using FETCH_USING in
package's Makefile by restoring FETCH_USING after .include-ing
mk.conf.

Other approaches:
- Mirror binaries somewhere. IMHO this is absolutely inacceptable.
- Custom "do-fetch" target. Very inconvenient.
