My bad, than, sorry.
I was living with the impression that this should be set only on command line.

bsd.ports.mk should than be modified ?:

# NO_SIZE                       - Don't record size data in distinfo, needed
#                                 when the master site does not report file
#                                 sizes, or when multiple valid versions of
#                                 a distfile, having different sizes, exist.


# DISABLE_SIZE    - Do not check the size of a distfile even if the SIZE field
#                             has been specified in distinfo.  This is useful
#                             when using an alternate FETCH_CMD.
