Lately while installing ports I have found that the ftp server supplying the sources is busy, and the make will fail. It's hard to say from the error you supplied above, but if that is happening to you, your two choices are to (1) manually fetch the required source distribution and make the port again, or (2) just keep retrying until `make' succeeds. I usually go with method (1) to save time. If you're still having trouble, try to capture the exact error message returned when make fails (maybe using script(1) or a redirection if you don't already have X running to cut/paste). Good luck.
