(BTW, no need to send mail to asami@freebsd.org as well as
ports@freebsd.org....I'll just get multiple copies and read them at
the same time. If you want to contact me directly (without the mail
accumulating on my freefall account until I have time), send mail to
"asami@cs.berkeley.edu".)
* I actually went into the bsd.port.mk file and basename'ed the distfiles,

* it?
Just define multiple MASTER_SITES and DISTFILES. For each element in
${DISTFILE}, bsd.port.mk will try every one of the ${MASTER_SITES},
and complain if one of the files is not available on any of them.
You'll need a fairly new bsd.port.mk though, it went into the -current
branch on 8/29 and -stable branch in 9/19.
