I'm now getting the following (on 10.9):

I've seen the last error multiple times lately on that particular mirror. It happens after a delay (timeout?). I'm not sure if that mirror just happens to be the last one in the list, or if MacPorts is treating that error as fatal (the debug output suggests the latter). In any case, that particular mirror seems to be broken right now. Since it's an http fetch, it's obviously not an SSL/TLS issue. I suppose the seven years of bad luck go to its owner rather than to MacPorts. :-)

A separate issue is that this distfile doesn't seem to be getting to *any* of the mirrors, suggesting a problem with the mirroring mechanism. It may not be a coincidence that GitHub fetches from 10.9 with the OS tools stopped working recently (01-Jan?), apparently due to a root CA issue on 10.9. They do work with fetch.ignore_sslcert=yes, and of course normal SSH-based GitHub access works fine. So perhaps the distfile mirror distributor has an expired root CA.

I've installed the apple-pki-bundle port, but the usage instructions boil down to RTFC, which I don't have time for right now.
