Hi Conrad,

It depends a little on the port name, I will show two ways.

1)
PORTNAME=      scidvspc
PORTVERSION=    4.5
CATEGORIES=     games
MASTER_SITES=   SF
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= scidvspc/source

DISTNAME=       scid_vs_pc-${PORTVERSION}.tgz


2)
PORTNAME=       scid_vs_pc
PORTVERSION=    4.5
CATEGORIES=     games
MASTER_SITES=   SF
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= scidvspc/source

EXTRACT_SUFX=   .tgz


If the source is not already in $distdir you can check the
resulting url's with the command
$> make fetch-list
