You just need to set MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE in /etc/make.conf or
ports.conf like:

MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=3Dftp://ftp1.ro.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/${DI=
ST_SUBDIR}/

The Handbook should be updated.

IMO this patch is not a good idea because it would prevent someone from
building a more interesting distfile mirror.
