If you can't ftp or cvsup with the proxy server, I'd suggest using
another PC to download an updated ports collection, then the files for
Opera and dependencies (these aren't terribly large, so it won't take
very long even on a slow connection) and burning these to a CD.  You can
then use these to update your system that is behind the proxy server and
build Opera.
