It's just a shell variable, so you can temporarily set it by defining it on the command line for which you want it to apply. In this case, you'd want to go back to the OpenBox directory, and type RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES=3D1 make all install clean (That's the number one after the `=3D'. It doesn't really matter what value= it is set to - the important thing is that it's set) For this one command, RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES is in effect. Looking at this again, it seems I got myself confused as to where you should download the distribution file. I think your system is trying to download a plain tbz file, and not an RPM. If that's the case, the downloaded file will actually go in /usr/ports/distfiles. The fact you mentioned fr.rpmfind.net was enough to send me off down the wrong path... Sorry for making things more complicated than they needed to be!
