What does this give:

fetch http://portsnap1.freebsd.org/pub.ssl
fetch http://portsnap1.freebsd.org/snapshot.ssl
openssl rsautl -pubin -inkey pub.ssl -verify < snapshot.ssl

You should get something like:
portsnap|1288656202|c4523276897a50ff0ca27add61344a4e96cc19a5f7e0bc8f8e17d138819e19a2

It seems like you are having a problem fetching the tag - can you ping
the servers? are you behind a proxy?

This is a separate issue due to bad DNS - the list of mirrors is obtained from:

host -t srv _http._tcp.portsnap.freebsd.org

and falls back to just portsnap.freebsd.org if it doesn't work.
