Yes: MacPorts uses curl, not wget.
I don't see why wget would be able to connect but curl would not.
You can put the manually-downloaded file into /opt/local/var/macports/
distfiles/x264 for now and you should be able to install. This is a
workaround, obviously, and we should still figure out why MacPorts
couldn't download it itself.

It looks like the file is still in the videolan repository as I just
pulled it down to test, are you able to wget
'ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/x264-
snapshot-20070411-2245.tar.bz2'
or curl
'ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/x264-
snapshot-20070411-2245.tar.bz2'
-o x264-snapshot-20070411-2245.tar.bz2

Has anyone had this problem?
