If your source file is the same as the port makefile is looking for
(signatures, extensions, version, etc), you can drop them into
/usr/ports/distfiles and the port makefile will find, patch (if necessary)
and install them for you. Provided there's no dependancies that you don't
have already, you shouldn't need to connect to the net.
