Julian, why not have a look at the freenas build system, you'll find it 
does a lot of the magic you are looking to do.

I'll be at BSDcan and I can walk anyone through it that is interested.

In the meanwhile the fix to your problem is this:

: 
${MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE='http://gitserver/freenas/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/'}
