Would it be an idea to make a tree below ports/distfiles, that reflect 
the tree structore of the ports, so that you can see what files belong where:

	...
	usr/ports/distfiles/lang/tcl/
	...
	usr/ports/distfiles/x11/xphoon/
	usr/ports/distfiles/x11/xscreensaver/
	...

and so on...

Then we could change the makefile so that when we decide we need to
fetch, we can wipe the catalog before doing so.  That way we have an 
automatically managed ports/distfiles instead of the present junk-heap
where nobody knows what files are current, much less, where they
belong...
