You might like to steal what I've done for GARstow's version of GAR,
since that makes it rather easier to deal with SourceForge downloads.
I've added a MASTER_SUBDIR variable that gets appended to
MASTER_SITES (simplifying a bit since I've made other changes):

MASTER_SUBDIR ?=
MASTER_DIRS = $(addsuffix $(MASTER_SUBDIR),$(MASTER_SITES))
DISTFILE_URLS = $(foreach DIR,$(FILE_SITES) $(MASTER_DIRS),$(addprefix $(DIR),$(DISTFILES)))

I've then got a bunch of definitions like this in gar.conf.mk:

MASTER_SOURCEFORGE = \
    http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ \
    http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ \
    http://belnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ \
    http://download.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/

And a port which uses Sourceforge does something like this:

MASTER_SITES = $(MASTER_SOURCEFORGE)
MASTER_SUBDIR = gaim/

The original idea came from FreeBSD's ports, I think.
