Some might say that this already happens. Well, it's on ftp.freebsd.org rather than pointyhat, and it's only for the ports that are built by the package build cluster. Take a look at=20 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/ (Warning: very long listing) I'm not sure what the policy is about getting rid of old distfiles, but there are generally several generations of distfile in there -- about 2 or 3 years worth.
