Because of the security incident (http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html) all of the package building cluster is temporarily quarantined. So there aren't any packages built for 9.1-RELEASE. You should be able to use pkg_tools packages built for any 9.x release or stable/9 if you can locate them on the FTP servers (although these will be at least about 2 months old by now) or you can grab the ports (use of portsnap recommended) and build your own.
