Issue #18194 has been updated by Ben Ford.

We band-aided the manifests until this can get patched by using 
$::hardwaremodel and $kernelmajrelease to calculate an http source, then 
setting that via Package resources. I hope to get this fixed for real tonight.

Bug #18194: freebsd package provider uses only active ftp

Active FTP is blocked by many firewalls. The freebsd provider uses active FTP 
to download the ports index and times out.

This makes the provider virtually useless out of the box on FreeBSD.

To fix, I set the source to 
'http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/'. But this 
isn't really portable. What about FreeBSD 8?
