Just add it to the port's Makefile (/usr/ports/devel/fpp/Makefile).

It currently says:
MASTER_SITES=   NL
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR=     fortran

Make that:
MASTER_SITES=   NL/fortran/ \
                http://ports.toco-domains.de/

Note that the use of MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR is, well, maybe technically not
deprecated, but no longer necessary either and in this case it's actually
inconvenient, so get rid of that.

You can test the mirror by temporarily removing the NL bit, making it
MASTER_SITES=   http://ports.toco-domains.de/
and doing
# cd /usr/ports/devel/fpp
# make distclean
# make fetch

It should then fetch the distfile from your mirror (note that it will try
distcache.FreeBSD.org next if it fails). If it works, you can add the NL
bit back in.

Hope this helps,

AvW
