Yes. Have a look at /etc/make.conf, especially MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE and
MASTER_SITE_BACKUP. You cannot override port-defined donwlod sites,
though. If you got constant difficulties downloading port tarballs, have
a look at the filename and download from your preferred mirror to
/usr/ports/disfiles by hand.
