Have you tried googling?  I was quite successful in finding the file,
for instance here: http://mirrors.zyrianes.net/gentoo/distfiles/ .=20
Generally, I find that a quick google with the file just as it appears
there in the distinfo is a quick and easy way to get the file you
need.  Plus, since the files are MD5'd, you won't have to worry about
accidentally getting the wrong one.  Isn't FreeBSD great?
