Thanks.  Yeah, I also found an example in java/sun-wtk as well, finally.

For the record and any other poor schmuck searcing for this, this seems to
be the easy way:

.if !exists(${DISTDIR}/${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}) && !defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING)
IGNORE=You must manually fetch the file ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX} from
${DOWNLOAD_URL}, place it in ${DISTDIR} and then run make again
.endif
