They would normally be fetched to /usr/ports/distfiles which is "global", it's easy enough to override with DIST_SUBDIR, it's better not to use it too much (if everything did, we'd end up with a bunch more inode use, plus the lazy person's cd /usr/ports/*/pkgname would then fail ;) but I think it would be reasonable to use in this case.
