No such file or directory metadata is corrupt.
I've already removed /var/db/portsnap directory, and redo the
portsnap fetch, but the problem remains since several days now.
What can I do to get this going again?
Running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0
That annoying problem pops up once or twice a month on my machines
also. It appears to be, although I have never taken the time to confirm
it, dependent on what URL portsnap is attempting to download from. The
problem usually goes away in 24 to 72 hours. As far as I can tell, it
does not require any user intervention; although I suppose you could
try playing around with it. Honestly, the vicissitude of portsnap is
something that I have become accustomed to.
I just ran portsnap and got this output:

Possible the problem has all ready dissipated.

I just tried and the problem remains, I've seen this for +2 weeks now, that's
why I believe it might be another issue.
