Attempting to fetch from
ftp://ftp-FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/ghostscript/.
           fetch: ghostscripts-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz: local modification
does not match remote
           => Couldn't find it - please try to retrieve this
           => port manually in /usr/ports/distfiles/ghostscript and try
again.

           ...so, what happened?

I did a search on google for the line "local modification does not match remote", one of the responses was from the freebsd-questions mailing list

the end result was

Either

a) Remove file from /usr/ports/distfiles and try again

or

b) Fetch file manually into /usr/ports/distfiles

... in addition to (if checksum announced in ports is wrong, which
sometimes happen) possibly either a) making new checksum with `make
makesum` or b) remove distinfo file.

So the idea is that the remote file failed to match some security criteria so it was not downloaded, the resolution is explained correctly by the response from HTH repeated above for your convenience.

Google also returned:

So in the future, I suggest, looking on the mailing list archive first because you might find the answer to your question there.
