I understand :) you can do this (see below) :)
IMHO, I prefer "checksum'd" docs :)
Obviously, "daily changing" documentations can't be reasonnably
"checksum'ed", but I don't think is a good idea to install them with the
port :)

Here 's my small example:
PORTNAME=       suphp
PORTVERSION=    0.2.3
CATEGORIES=     www
DISTFILES=      ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}:0
MASTER_SITES=   http://www.suphp.org/download/:0
.if !defined(NOPORTDOCS)
DISTFILES+=     suphp-fr-doc-0.2.3.tar.gz:1
MASTER_SITES+=  http://www.cultdeadsheep.org/sheepkiller/:1
.endif

It was a simple "copy and paste" :)
