No, it should be looking for jpeg-6. I have a patch in my inbox which
upgrades it to 6a, but since other ports depend on this being 6, and
this fact wasn't dealt with in the patch (and I didn't have the time
to go write my own patch), I did nothing with it.

The lack of existance on the master site DOES NOT AFFECT THE PORT! If
the file is not found on the master site, bsd.port.mk falls back to
trying ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/, and the file
`jpegsrc.v6.tar.gz' exists in that directory, so the fetch will
succeed...
