So the upstream is no longer available. So the port > is BROKEN and marked as such. If it's fetched from FreeBSD's own cache rather than a local cache, anyone can build it just by removing the BROKEN line. I've never understood why this is done, what's the point of supporting backup servers in the ports makefiles if a port is marked as BROKEN every time it's useful.
