i'm not aware of any official document about mirroring at this point.

the best short summary i can come up with.

o to get a new country domain allocated, make sure you configure your
  nameservers appropriately and then send your details to:
 
   hostmaster@freebsd.org

  this assumes that there is no existing domain delegated and that you
  are in a position to run a nameserver for that country's delegation.

o to mirror the ftp archive, i'd advise you to look for the closest tier-1
  or tier-2 mirror and update from them.  this might be as easy as contacting
  one of the ftp.X.freebsd.org sites (ftp/ftp2/ftp3/ftp4/ftp10 seem to be
  quite active/responsive)

o to mirror the web site and cvsup site, some documentation exists and you
  will need to setup cvsup - and again talk to one of the other cvsup
  mirror sites


cheers,

-jason
