Comment (by ryandesign):

 If a distfile does not exist in
 ${prefix}/var/macports/distfiles/${dist_subdir}/ then MacPorts will try to
 download it from the URL(s) in `master_sites`, merged with the distfiles
 mirror URLs such as distfiles.macports.org. URLs are tried in increasing
 order of ping time. `file:///` URLs to local directories should work in
 `master_sites`, if you are developing an unusual portfile not intended for
 distribution to others.
