Upstream informed me on IRC that I can make another change to the port
to avoid needing network in the tests:

diff --git a/net/zoitechat/Makefile b/net/zoitechat/Makefile
index 44fec3e..dc9fee5 100644
--- a/net/zoitechat/Makefile
+++ b/net/zoitechat/Makefile
@@ -44,6 +44,8 @@ RUN_DEPENDS =         devel/desktop-file-utils \
 TEST_DEPENDS =         archivers/gtar \
                        devel/harfbuzz,-main
 
+TEST_ENV +=            AS_VALIDATE_NONET=1
+
 pre-test:
        ln -fs ${LOCALBASE}/bin/gtar ${WRKDIR}/bin/tar


Attached is a new tarball with this change.

Thanks.
