Those mirrors should be part of cygport SRC_URI or PATCH_URI and will be
retrieved on download.

Portage is gentoo equivalent on which cygport is based and that patch hits some
make and bake file and translation sources as part of a patchset series:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=e16e67f0678b264a04e96954a4593ddac3a9a32d

including also:

https://dev.gentoo.org/~leio/distfiles/wxGTK-3.0.3_p20180104.tar.xz

where you will have to figure out if you need to doenload and apply patches to
their sources or make a similar change to get the equivalent effect in your
cygport.
