That's true. Some time ago, we added the following to pkgsrc
to make the situation better (extract from Packages.txt):

If the package has multiple DISTFILES or multiple PATCHFILES from different
sites, set SITES_foo to a list of URI's where file "foo" may be found. "foo"
includes the suffix, e.g.

        DISTFILES=${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
        DISTFILES+=foo-file.tar.gz
        SITES_foo-file.tar.gz=http://www.somewhere.com/somehow/ \
                        http://www.somewhereelse.com/mirror/somehow/

Please add some appropriate lines to the offending package(s).
