The questions: is this the right thing to do and is it the right way to go about it?

If bsd.sites.mk is changed as shown below, all of the xfce "goodies" ports can use

  MASTER_SITES=   ${MASTER_SITE_XFCE_GOODIES}

That will unify all of the goodies ports and ease future changes like additional mirrors or moves.

There are currently 26 ports of xfce goodies (not counting the xfce-notification-daemon port, which I haven't submitted yet):

 #find /usr/ports -name Makefile -exec grep -l goodies.xfce.org {} \+

Proposed changes to bsd.sites.mk:
