This is possible when the porter (the guy who maintains the port in
FreeBSD) hasn't noticed that the distfile was overwritten by the
maintainers of the source, without changing version numbers...
I've found that a quick note in email, to the maintainer of the port
(listed in the MAINTAINER= ... line of the port Makefile) tends to solve
any problems the port has :-)
