It is possible to specify more than one repository per file.

Quarterly is the name for Ports branches cut from HEAD at the beginning of
every (yearly) quarter in January, April, July, and October, and the name for
the binary package sets that are produced from these branches.

The quarterly branch provides users with a more predictable and stable
experience for port and package installation and upgrades. This is done
essentially by only allowing non-feature updates. Quarterly branches aim to
receive security fixes (that may be version updates, or backports of commits),
bug fixes and ports compliance or framework changes.

To switch from quarterly to latest (packages based off ports head) change the
string
.Pa quarterly
to
.Pa latest
in the url: line
