I've been trying to get /usr/ports/net/socks5 working.  The port 
requires that you manually fetch the distfiles from 
http://www.socks.nec.com/cgi-bin/download.pl
(the needed file is: socks5-v1.0r11.tar.gz)

The URL doesn't appear to link or contain the needed distfile.  I've 
sent a couple of emails to their support@ address which they have not 
responded to.

Is this a situation where the port needs to be marked broken, and if 
so how would I go about it?

(The porters handbook doesn't seem to cover broken ports, link me if 
I'm wrong about this)

Thanks for the help (I'm still green when it comes to maintaining 
ports)
