I do not believe there are any provisions to mirror pkg.freebsd.org --
partly this is because of security concerns, and partly because pkg(8)
and the pkg.freebsd.org repository is still pretty new and there hasn't
been much demand up to now.

There are three current sites for pkg.freebsd.org -- US East, US West
and UK -- which leaves Asia[*]without any sort of local service.  If
there are any well-connected FreeBSD users in India, China, Japan, S.
Korea, Singapore, Eastern Russia etc. who would be prepared to donate
the bandwidth and datacentre space and possibly some hardware, then I'm
sure the project would be very interested in adding some more locations.
 Probably the thing to do would be to approach the FreeBSD Foundation,
who will be able to give some information about how much storage space
and bandwidth would be required.

	Cheers,

	Matthew

[*] Not to mention Australasia or S. America[+]

[+] Or Antarctica, but I don't think there are too many FreeBSD users on
that continent.
