You can set MASTER_SITE_REGEX= ^http: if you have http access. And fetch
also supports ftp requests over http, if you have access to an http
proxy that supports it

make checksum-recursive is better

You mean FTP *to* (and not "from") specific machines, right?  And what 
about HTTP?  If you look in just a few Makefiles, you'll notice that 
MASTER_SITES vary with each port (CPAN, SF and a few others might appear 
often), so unless you know exactly which ports you will install, this will 
be tough.  For example, see output of:

   % find /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/ -name Makefile | xargs egrep MASTER_SITE
