The ports usually fetch the software from the developers' web

You can also always fetch the software yourself, if you can find
it elsewhere, and put it in the right place (which is /opt/local/
var/macports/distfiles/${name}). For sites that are frequently
down, we sometimes mirror the distfiles on our own server. You
could show us the exact error messages you're getting so we can
look into it and see what's going on.
Now that I look closer, I see the first URL that's failing is
www.apache.org. In fact, their site is not down, and when I go
there, it's easy to see what's wrong. They have apr 0.9.16
available, but the one attempting to download is 0.9.13. So simply
the package that "port" is trying to download is too old.
I browsed around, and 0.9.13 is no longer available. So I can't
download it myself into the distfiles directory.
I tried "tricking" port by grepping for 0.9.13 under /opt, and
editing a few select files to 0.9.16 instead. This allowed the
file to download, but the checksum failed.
Any suggestions on how to handle this situation?
Ok, so the apr0 and apr-util0 ports are out of date and need to be
updated. You should file a ticket for that in Trac. Instructions are
here:
