I see what the problem is now.  Its the frequency of updating of
the mirror sites:

# portaudit -F -d
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.at.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/eik/.
auditfile.tbz                                 100% of 4755  B   22 kBps
new database installed.
database created: Tue May 18 09:00:30 EDT 2004

# portaudit -F -d
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/eik/.
auditfile.tbz                                 100% of 4818  B   26 kBps
new database installed.

# portaudit -F -d
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp1.ro.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/eik/.
auditfile.tbz                                 100% of 4817  B  170 kBps
new database installed.

# portaudit -F -d
>> Attempting to fetch from http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/eik/.
auditfile.tbz                                 100% of 4817  B   15 kBps

I worked around this by adding this to /usr/local/etc/portaudit.conf :

  MASTER_SORT_REGEX="ftp\.FreeBSD\.org[.\/]"

This limits it to using ftp.FreeBSD.org site instead of other
mirrors.

Thanks for the response!
