Ah.  Maybe now I get it! ;-)

Sites for each port are listed in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk,
and I think you *could* change it there.  But I believe that the best
method is setting MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE in your environment
or in /etc/make.conf.

e.g, in tcsh:

#setenv MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE ftp1.freebsd.org
#cd /usr/ports/editors/vim
#make install clean

If I remember correctly, in sh/bash it would be:

$MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp1.freebsd.org
$export MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE
$cd /usr/ports/editors/vim
$make install clean

Hope this Helps!
