I used to do something similar to this by setting it in /etc/make.conf.
The only downside is if DIST_SUBDIR is not set you get paths that don't
look pretty, e.g.:
ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles//some_distfile.tgz
Instead, I added something to my /etc/make.conf similar to:
.if defined(DIST_SUBDIR)
DIST_SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=${DIST_SUBDIR}/
.else
DIST_SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=
.endif
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR_OVERRIDE}
