I've checked the FreeBSD port files, and I believe this is the relevant
section in Makefile:

# User needs to manually download the distfile
.if !(exists(${DISTDIR}/${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX})) && !
defined(PACKAGE_BUILDING)
IGNORE= commercial source download is restricted.  Please visit and read
${DG_URL} and download ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX} into ${DISTDIR} before
running make
.endif

Is this acceptable in OpenBSD, you think? It sure is not nice in terms
of BSD ports standards, I totally agree.
