Patches to allow re-fetching a truncated download went into bsd.port.mk
just yesterday courtesy of Kris Kennaway: see

    http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D438860+0+current/freebsd=
-ports

Re-cvsup your ports, and set the FETCH_REGET variable for the number
of times you want the ports make system to retry the fetch.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
