You can learn where exatly you need the distfile by looking at the line
starting with ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/:

[I use wget as my fetch command][lines wrapped on ||]

$ cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice/; make fetch-recursive-list| head -n 1
/usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2  ||
/usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 http://openofficeorg.secsup.org/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2  ||
/usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/openoffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2  ||
/usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openoffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2  ||
/usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 ftp://www.t.ring.gr.jp/pub/misc/openoffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2  ||
/usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 http://www.t.ring.gr.jp/archives/misc/openoffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2  ||
/usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 ftp://ftp.chg.ru/pub/OpenOffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2  ||
/usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/openoffice1.0/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2  ||
echo OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 not fetched

This means that the distfile OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 should be put in
/usr/ports/distfiles/openoffice1.0/
