It's a usability problem if one tries to build the port. I was not
sure whether the distfile was out of date etc.

databases/sqldeveloper/Makefile has a construct in its Makefile that
helps the user to understand where he has to go and where
he has to put the distfile:

.if !exists(${DISTDIR}/${DIST_SUBDIR}/${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX})
IGNORE= due to Oracle license restrictions, you must fetch the source \
distribution manually. Please access \
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html \
with a web browser and follow the link for the ${DISTFILES}. You will be \
required to register and log in, but you can create an account on that \
page. After registration and accepting the Oracle License, download the \
distribution file, ${DISTFILES}, into ${DISTDIR}/${DIST_SUBDIR}/ and then \
restart this installation
.endif

Can you add something like this to the port ?
