I'm wondering if there is any interest in adding a "local distfile"
repository to the bsd.port.mk file. I would envision using this to
maintain the "hand transferred" distfiles, as well as a convenient
place to hold distfiles that are "under development". [I imagine
this to be 'expert friendly']
If this were added, you could safely delete /usr/ports/distfiles
(to reclaim diskspace) without having to retransfer the restricted
ones...
Comments?

P.S. Proposed patch attached.
