Look in the /etc/make.conf file (or cp /etc/defaults/make.conf
/etc/make.conf and edit that) for the lines:
# 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 "/${DIST_SUBDIR}/" part.)
#
MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?= \
ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${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.
#
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}
Change accordingly. The above is reason #2 why I like FreeBSD.
