Well, you can do a `sudo port fetch port1 port2 port3 port4` whenever you want, to pre-fetch. As long as the portfile doesn't get updated since then, you should be able to build anytime later and it will use the fetched distfiles.

Just remember, if you do a `sudo port clean --all portname` or --dist then it will wipe the fetched distfile.

The prefetching would make sense as well, e.g. in a
case where you are offline for a while but able to
build during that period. I think I have used this
feature in the original BSD ports tree sometime ago.
But compared to the recursive deps checking, this is
second on my enhancement wish list.
