If you need/want to rebuild the ports for the distfiles,
they will have to be downloaded again.

Many of them may be for outdated ports, so they could be
deleted.  Of course, once in a while somebody comes looking
for old distfiles.

What about moving the distfiles to someplace in /home
and symlinking?
