If you need the port to ``find'' the proper archive, drop it into
/usr/ports/distfiles.
The port stays in the local heirarchy unless you run `make install'. You
might be able to hack the port Makefile to specify a new ${PREFIX} to
install to.
Your system administrator may be happy to install this for you; PGP is
generally a good thing, if you can get around the ITAR restrictions.
