The exact error messages would be helpful.  Run the make process under script(1)
to capture the output, and then send the relevent portions in your next email.
Like this:
cd /usr/ports/www/apache13
script /root/make.txt make

The output from the command will be stored in the file "/root/make.txt" and
you can cut/paste the errors into your email.

Without more details it could be a number of things, some top candidates:
1) /etc/resolv.conf not set up properly (can you ping names? i.e does
   "ping www.yahoo.com" work?)
2) A firewall is blocking you
3) The site your trying to connect to is too busy at the moment (how many
   times have you tried? Those download sites are occasionally overwhelmed)
4) Your ports config is REAL old and the server info is no longer valid
   (what version of FreeBSD are you running?)

Download putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) or a
similar ssh package for windows.

Your company laywers don't have enough to do, do they?
