This is what SourceForge has to say about running an aggregator on their server. Looks like people working on aggregation need to run their own sandbox. Let me know if you have any further comments you would like me to add, but I don'n think they are planing on making any exceptions.

It appears that this is not allowed as shown by a nice error message I have seen: warning: php_hostconnect: connect failed in /home/groups/d/de/dean/htdocs/modules/import/feed.module on line 175. warning: fopen("http://boingboing.net/rss.xml";, "r") - Bad file descriptor in /home/groups/d/de/dean/htdocs/modules/import/feed.module on line 175. If these requests were to be allowed they would be relatively low traffic, around 10 or 20 http gets per hour at the most.
