Not random. Those ports got moved/renamed/removed to something else. For example, fileutils got renamed to coreutils. Look up those ports in freshports.org to see what happened to them: For fileutils: http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/fileutils Just put the relative path of the port and prepend http://www.freshports.org/ to it.
