Generally maintainership in a situation like this implies stepping forward to provide hosting for the distfiles. I understand that there are other ports that are referring to debian repos for non-linux things, and I've asked portmgr to look into this practice. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure that this example is not a good idea. It's fairly rude to utilize the resources of another project without permission.
