I think I saw something like this already float by on this thread, but I
can't find it now and a search on the web page turned up zero matches...
Why not set MASTER_SITES to something like this?
$(FREEBSD_ORG_OVERRIDE) \
ftp://where.ever.com/what.ever \
$(FREEBSD_ORG_FALLBACK)
Then and individual could override a default value (of
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/...) for either or both of those variables depending
on what's desired. If I don't want to try freebsd.org first, I do
make FREEBSD_ORG_OVERRIDE= fetch
or if I want to error out when the master(s) lose it:
make FREEBSD_ORG_OVERRIDE= FREEBSD_ORG_FALLBACK= fetch
And presumably /etc/make.conf (I don't remember the name of that file for
sure) could be edited to make a "permanent" local change to the value.
