 I've tried fetching a file off a mirror and copying it to

I had a similar error.  I downloaded the php-5.1.4.tar.bz2 file manually, 
determined its size, MD5 and SHA256 hashes, and put all that info into 
/usr/ports/lang/php5/distinfo.  My portupgrade -R php5 then went OK.

My current /usr/ports/lang/php5/distinfo:

'Filelight' is a handy application to quickly pinpoint disk hogging 
directories.  It makes a kind of pie chart of the harddisk, with the ability 
to descend into subdirectories with a click.  It's in the sysutils ports.

For a quick example of how it looks, see

PS. Running 'portsclean' with various options can also free substantial 
amounts of harddisk space!
