You can download a specific .tar.gz specific revision.

For stable branch 10.47.27:

http://netpbm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netpbm/stable.tar.gz?view=tar&pathrev=1443

For advanced branch 10.54.0:

http://netpbm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netpbm/advanced.tar.gz?view=tar&pathrev=1452

To get the revision for a specific version, look at the version.mk file,

http://netpbm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netpbm/advanced/

Then to get a consistant name for the tar file, the netpbm{,-devel},
port could add the following as a post-fetch target:

NETPBM_TRUNK=stable

.if defined(WITH_NETPBM_DEVEL)
:
NETPBM_TRUNK=advanced
NETPBM_REV=1452
:
.else
:
NETPBM_TRUNK=stable
NETPBM_REV=1443
:
.endif

post-fetch:
    if [ ! -f ${DISTDIR}/${PORTNAME}-${NETPBM_PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX} ] ; \
      fetch -o ${DISTDIR}/${PORTNAME}-${NETPBM_PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
http://netpbm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netpbm/${NETPBM_TRUNK}.tar.gz?view=tar&pathrev=${NETPBM_REV}
; \
    fi

I choose a post-fetch, so that we could define a MASTER_SITE to host
these tar files, and to allow the files to be fetched from FreeBSD
mirrors, that way we wouldn't cause a load on the SF site.
