I've got some switches externally located off my PIC board (about 2 feet)
and I'm purposely driving my port pins high when the switches are closed
(due to the fact that I don't want a short to give me an unwanted trigger)
and I'm not sure how to size the pulldown resistors. I'm thinking of using a
resistor network since I need 8 resistors. Most of the networks are or about
1/16 or less in wattage. If a pin can sink 25ma, is that what I need to
consider in my power calculations? 5v X .025 is close to 1/8 watt.

I'm locating the resistors on the PIC board and not with the switches.
