Sure we could. Just have the user provide something like
`MASTER_SITE_REGION', and then switch the other MASTER_SITE_* defaults
based on its contents. E.g.:
.if "${MASTER_SITE_REGION}" == "US-East"
MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB+= ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/X/contrib/%SUBDIR%/ \
ftp://ftp.duke.edu/pub/X11/contrib/%SUBDIR%/
.endif
.if "${MASTER_SITE_REGION}" == "Europe"
MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB+= ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/x11/x.org/contrib/%SUBDIR%/ \
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/X11/contrib/%SUBDIR%/
.endif
# ...
MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB+= ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/%SUBDIR%/
(where the last one is the canonical location).
