This is a fairly lame restriction...

I think I asked before, but could we just set up a proxy so that the distfile mirror can get ftp hosted files?

or, if we can fetch with ftp from one of the non-apple supplied mirrors (I think they exist), can't we just have the main distfiles mirror pull those distfiles from them?
