`make makesum` or hand crafting it. If you update the port's Makefile
to be a different version or use different/more distfile(s), you can
tell it to update that file with this step.
Sure but MASTER_SITES is set to LOCAL/kp and it looks like he hasn't
generated a distfile for 13.3 yet. (Maybe this doesn't happen until 13.3
is released?)

I misunderstood thinking you were attempting to update the port and I
had not looked into it myself to see that it isn't just using some
obvious donloadable file. If that file doesn't exist for download yet,
then there are other steps necessary for us to have a file to point a
port at.
I had seen that fetch failure in my builds but not started to
diagnose it. As I do not have read permission for that folder on the
FreeBSD server, I'd defer that to the maintainer to sort out. Looking at
the Makefile, it looks like files are created+uploaded in the 'upload:'
area; maybe that could be modified to create the archive for 13.3 and
copy its output to a local distfiles repository to test; if successful
then I presume the maintainer or someone with write permissions to that
part of the FreeBSD servers needs to execute such steps.
`make makesum` would erase nonreferenced files if I recall, so I
presume an update would need to append or edit the file to contain
information for all the versioned distfiles so that each OS version
grabs its own needed file while ignoring the other files.
