[ This is my first try at answering this sort of question, if I'm
too far off the mark someone else will correct me. :-]
By observation it seems like things get copied into place on
ftp-master at 20:05 by a cron job, I can't tell if that happens
more often than once a day. But "into place" means that it is
in the ports/local-distfiles and the ports/ directory is notorious
among the mirror sites for being a hard thing to deal with. The
well-connected large mirror sites will have it within a day of
it showing up on ftp-master but many of the mirror sites sync the
ports/ directories less frequently than once a day.
So, it should have already started to show up on some sites, it
will take a day or two more before it will be on the majority of
the mirror sites. We're actively working on trying to make it
at least a little more predictable what sites will have it sooner
versus later.
