RedPorts and restricted distfiles

I am trying to test an update of astro/xephem, which has a restricted
distfile.

I tried to svn commit the source file as
'distfiles/xephem-3.7.6.tar.gz', but without luck.

The RedPorts script seem to expect the distfile at 'tmp/distfiles'. I
got this error message:

xephem-3.7.6 because of licensing restrictions, you must manually fetch
xephem-3.7.6.tar.gz from http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/xephem/, place
it in /tmp/distfiles and then run make again.


Is there any way, one can test ports with restricted distfiles on RedPorts?

Any help is really appreciated.
