DIST_SUBDIR not working with MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE

Hi everybody,

I recently wanted to install some gnome stuff from ports. In order to
boost the download speed, I did something like this:

 make MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp1.ro.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/

as documented in the Handbook. However, many gnome packages seem to have
DIST_SUBDIR in their Makefile, but MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE doesn't care. This
makes installing ports (with many dependencies) from known non-default
sources very hard.

The following patch addresses this problem. As a side-effect, if somebody
does not have distfiles structured as on a FreeBSD mirror (a rare case I
would say) he will have to find a workaround.
