I am trying to figure out how to get the source code to a FreeBSD port.

I am not running FreeBSD, but want to bring up ingres on an Amiga3000 running
NetBSD so I thought the FreeBSD port would be a good place to start from.
I found 

Host hskgw.hitachi-sk.co.jp

    Location: /pub/.dsk1/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/db
      DIRECTORY dr-xr-xr-x        512  Jun 23 1994  ingres
    Location: /pub/.dsk1/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports
      DIRECTORY dr-xr-xr-x        512  Feb  8 1994  ingres

as a site from archie for the port.  When I ftp to the site though I can
not seem to locate the source files.  I did find the distfiles directory
that seems to have the source file for some of the ports, and also read through
some docs on FreeBSD that seemed to indicate that the ftp source for the base
code was referenced in the Makefile,  but I could not seem to find this
for the ingres port.  I am very interested in finding this now, as I noticed
that this version of ingres had a subdirectory called `sql' that I have not
seen in other versions.
