Absolutely. We already need a flag for whether distfiles may be distributed. William is currently maintaining that list manually in his mirror script, which isn't optimal. Anyone have a suggestion for what such a flag could be called?

Either we make two flags, so this would be for mirroring:
  mirror.restricted yes

Or we integrate this into a 'licenses' option:
  licenses BSD
  licenses GPL
  licenses Restricted BSD
  licenses Restricted NoMirror

So multiple licenses can be named if parts are under different licenses,
with "Restricted" just naming something proprietary and "NoMirror"
indicating we are not allowed to mirror distfiles.

For some ports, licensing is dependent on variant selected. For instance, ffmpeg is GPL by default but is LGPL if the +no_gpl variant is specified causing GPL modules to be disabled.

This would work in these cases if it is acceptable to declare licenses in a variant definition clause.
