The environment variables are available when fetch runs. They can be
accessed with:
${::env(<name of env var goes here>)}
or
global env
${env(<name of env var goes here>)}

In your case ${::env(http_proxy)} will contain (in this precedence)
HTTP_PROXY from your env if set, proxy_http from macports.conf if set or
WEB PROXY from your
System Preferences if set (see the comment in macports.conf). Keep in
mind that, unless you use the -E switch, most environment variables
(including HTTP_PROXY)
will be cleared when you run port as sudo. I would suggest that you use
proxy_http from macports.conf.
