Fussy-fussy! :-)
The lines I have added look like this:
# Port master sites.
#
# If you want your port fetches to go somewhere else than the default
# (specified below) in case the distfile/patchfile was not found,
# uncomment this and change it to a location nearest you. (Don't
# remove the "/${DIST_SUBDIR}/" part.)
#
MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?=\
# ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
#
# If you want your port fetches to check the above site first (before
# the MASTER_SITES specified in the port Makefiles), uncomment the
# line below. You can also change the right side to point to wherever
# you want
ftp://ftp.filearena.net/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?=${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}
