I think that, even with the existence of MASTER_SORT (which usage
is not documented in the bsd.port.mk header, and which usage is not
documented in the porters handbook), this is a much easier solution
which will help a big group of users which have absolutely no idea
how to use awk but are stuck with slow downloads from heanet. Even
I use it now.
