The original distribution archives for each of the ports isn't necessarily
distributable because of license restrictions on particular pieces of
software.  Most of them are retrievable over the Internet; if you don't
have the distfile in /usr/ports/distfiles, then you can look at the
Makefile and fetch the distribution manually, put it in
/usr/ports/distfiles, and try again.
