I'm not really sure how to pick which are given highest priority in the list. Maybe there could be some way of checking for MASTER_SITES which end with the same top level domain or something and choosing those first? Or... For some of the ports, there are lots of mirror sites in Japan. Maybe there could be a MASTER_SITES_JP or something and a flag in make.conf which uses this set of MASTER_SITES, if it is set.
