It's a bit awkward actually but can be done. You have to take output of 'make show=DISTFILES' and prepend contents of 'make show=MASTER_SITES' (which can give you multiple URLs), except where the distfile ends in :0, :1, :2, ... :9 in which case you need MASTER_SITES0, ...1, etc. Similar for PATCHFILES and maybe SUPDISTFILES.. You can't do it reliably without 'make show=...' because the URL can come from a *.port.nk modules, Makefile.inc or network.conf. And sometimes you need to fallback a backup at an openbsd.org server.
