use `make -f /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk -V MASTER_SITE_XXX' to know
the current value of a variable, then add a line like the following
one to /etc/make.conf :

MASTER_SITE_XXX=your://prefered.download.site

using the same format as found using make -v (don't forget the
%SUBDIR% if it exists). where the list of MASTER_SITE_XXX may be
found using `grep MASTER_SITE.*= /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk'.

for example :

# make -f /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk-V MASTER_SITE_SOURCEWARE | \
  tr ' ' '\012' | grep -v '^$'
(freesoftware.com is in the first position)
# echo MASTER_SITE_SOURCEWARE=\
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/%SUBDIR%/ \
>> /etc/make.conf
# make -f /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk -V MASTER_SITE_SOURCEWARE | \
  tr ' ' '\012' | grep -v '^$'
(freesoftware.com is in the second position)
