The only part that won't work is the 'make fetch' part. Do
the fetch manually by getting the distfile and putting it in
/usr/ports/distfiles. (This means download the file from
opera on a different machine and copy it over somehow). Then
run 'make install clean' or whatever to install the port.

Look in the port makefile to see which file you need to
download from opera.
