I have two proposals:
1) distfiles/${category}/${name}
Hierarchy matching the ports tree. Using name only results in a long
list if we add files for more ports.
2) trunk/dports/${category}/${name}/distfiles
Although that would mix up sources only and binaries in the same
tree, if that matters (e.g. on branching/tagging). But with this
solution all files belonging to a port would be together at one
place.
