Comment:

 The fact that we have no packages for any ports on Mountain Lion, and you
 therefore get a 404 for that, is not the problem.

 The problem is that, failing a pre-copiled binary, MacPorts tries to
 download the source and build it on your system. But the source it
 downloaded was not source but HTML. What server did that HTML come from?
 Your log does not tell us. What does the HTML contain? You could `cat` or
 attach the file
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/expat/expat-2.1.0.tar.gz; that might
 tell us more about what we need to do to fix it.
