Umm. e.g.:

root@thud:/usr/ports/japanese/gawk> make fetch
>> gawk-2.15.6.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system.
>> ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles// ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/GNU/

(the above line I put into bsd.port.mk to try and figure things out ... wierd :-( )

>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles//.

This is with a bsd.port.mk which is straight from the CVS repo.
