This is such a ubiquitous chemical that there must be plenty of sources from which it could be processed. I think they mines are currently the “only” sources simply because they are cheaper than any of the alternatives, not because there aren’t any alternatives.

There is a group that was in Popular science or popular mechanics that had developed a way to process phosphorus out of human waste. The price wasn’t competitive to the mined product, but the technology is there.
