I suppose you are talking about PKG_SITES.  I use this Norwegian mirror:

ftp://ftp.no.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/

The procedure seemed to be fairly intelligent, with portinstall
searching /All and /Latest and sometimes going into packages-6.2-release
if some package could not be found.

But it needs to said that many installs failed with missing packages.
At any rate, I downloaded gentoo, worker, xnview and some other things
with portinstall -PPR.  And I have no idea whether any of this meant
anything for flash.
