From ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk: MASTER_SITE_BACKUP?= \ http://distcache.FreeBSD.org/ports-distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/ The port should go there automatically as a last resort. If you've already tried to build the port then most likely the file isn't there. You can make a port try there first by passing -DMASTER_SITE_FREEBSD to make. I wouldn't make it the default as it can prevent the port picking-up a new version of a rerolled file.help
