This is actually the default, and has been for some time.

This doesn't make any sense unless you meant to say deny *in*bound
traffic.

If you really are denying outbound TCP, you need to configure an
FTP proxy, and configure fetch to use whatever that supports. This may
mean switching fetch from passive (the default) to active ftp.

in /etc/make.conf:

FETCH_CMD?=  /usr/bin/fetch -ApRr

man fetch as well.

Hope this helps!
