just unpack them all in the same place.

To build IPF, you cd to src/usr.sbin/ipf and type "make" (and "make
install", as root). The Makefiles in there are are adjusted to pick up the
sources in the "dist" dir you mention, you are not expected to run
"make" in the "dist" dir,though. This mechanism is known as
"reachover" Makefiles.
