I usually do this dance:

su -
cd /usr/ports/distfiles
lynx http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/ftpsearch


Then I enter the name of the distfile I need in the second search box at the bottom for files.
Then after the 50 or so sites that has the file pop up, I pick a fast one and download it right into the distfiles directory. I find I'm having to do this a lot lately. Especially for all the rpm's in linux_lib and linux_dev. Hope this helps.
