I have no directory /var/ports nor /BETA1/var/ports.
My PORTSDIR is /BETA1/usr/ports because I kept this location from FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 after installing BETA2 in another GPT partition.
My distfiles directory is ?BETA1/usr/ports/distfiles .
But a portsnap run should not download distfiles.
Distfiles are downloaded when you build a port.
