Perhaps you should try using MASTER_SORT_REGEX and setting some mirror
priorities... here's a good example (mirrors in my country are given top
priority, followed by *.edu which usually have near infinite
bandwidth... put this in /etc/make.conf):
MASTER_SORT_REGEX?=^file: \
://ftp.?\.br\.FreeBSD\.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ \
mesh \
://[^/]*\.br[./] \
://ufpr\.dl\.sourceforge\.net/ \
://[^/]*\.edu[./]
