That would only solve it for you, not the rest

Typo:
	s/bsd.site.mk/ports/bsd.sites.mk
	/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk

You seem to be right, as an example,
I had a similar situation for lang/pbasic in 1995 or after & see there:	
	MASTER_SITES=   ${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL}
	MASTER_SITES=   ${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL}
	MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR=     trevor
	DISTNAME=       ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}-950813
I recall I also mailed ftpmaster at freebsd.org (or similar address)
to arrange it be stored there.

PS
I just tested the examples above & I see this directory is missing
	ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/trevor/
though fetch eventually found it at
	http://ftp2.ua.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/pbasic-2.0-950813.tar.gz

Cheers,
Julian
