Add the following to your make.conf:
Code:

FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/curl \${URI} > \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}"
RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/curl -C - \${URI} > \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}"

for example, curl supports http CONNECT through ssl proxy, wget not
it also have --auto option for referer field - very useful anti-antileach thing

It's doesn`t work anymore as I expected, but curl have a key -o to write to a file, not into stdout (this action by default)
Code:

FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/curl \${URI} -o \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}"
RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/curl -C - \${URI} -o \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}"
