That doesn't really make sense to me. If you change a patch and run
pkgmk, it should really rebuild the package without any special
arguments.

Another thing that this would break is when we get reports that the
md5sum changed of an existing tarball. If I redownload the source, it
should really also rebuild the source IMO. This is probably a corner
case though.

pkgmk is a tool to build packages from source. Adding additional code to
handle cases where no source is available doesn't make sense to me.
