Hi!

I'm trying to install a port on a machine where I don't have access to the 
root account. I know I can do

make WRKDIRPREFIX=~/ports/tmp PREFIX=~/ports

to have the port built in my home directory, but how do I tell make to look 
somewhere other than /usr/ports/distfiles for the tar.gz file that contains 
the port?

Thanks!
