I looked at this about a year ago (AFAIR), and I seem to recall that
the url.cgi (or was it pds.cgi) already does some magic e.g. to handle
deleted ports, so it's probably not very hard to handle this, since
you have the MASTERDIR variable in the port, but I'm pretty sure it's
not a quick fix (not that anyone has implied that).

An interesting little task for someone who wants to know perl and make
magic better :-).
