 * DISTFILES=	${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX} file1 file2 \ 
 * 		file3 file4
 * 
 * This will fetch them all at make fetch time.
 * 
 * DIST_SUBDIR=	portname

 * This puts them all in a subdir in distfiles so things don't get cluttered.

You probably also need

EXTRACT_ONLY=	${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}

or some such to prevent bsd.port.mk from trying to untar the text
