	In theory, yes. You have tarballs for MacPorts itself in your  
distfiles dir, so they "should" be moved to /distfiles/MacPorts  
(properly capitalized, per the port name). And why do I quote...?  
'Cause we have /downloads/MacPorts-1.5.0/ holding the official  
tarballs & dmg's for the project, so I don't see why we need to  
duplicate them into the distfiles section (true that we could merge  
downloads & distfiles after moving the latter to per port naming, but  
that's another discussion). If for some reason you require tarballs  
for the specific MacPorts versions you now have in /distfiles/afb,  
feel free to create them off our sources (base/Makefile automates  
this in an elegant way, ping me if you need any pointers) and upload  
them to the downloads section.

	Regards,...
