Comment (by brislawn):

 Dave, thanks for responding.  "port clean ghostscript" and "port install
 ghostscript" still fails for new, unintelligible reasons, but I now think
 it may be a proxy/firewall issue, although I have no idea why this is
 happening.

 I originally set up Macports in my office, inside an institutional
 firewall, and macports has been insisting I continue to use the same proxy
 settings even though I've been working at home for months. I have been
 running macports commands through a VPN tunnel to work, which has seemed
 to succeed until this ghostscript issue. Your command line approach also
 failed until I shut down the VPN tunnel and forced macports to retrieve
 the ghostpdl file without routing through the institutional firewall. Now
 that the file is downloaded and relocated I have *restarted* VPN and am
 continuing with the build.

 If these sorts of problems persist I may give up at some point, uninstall
 everything, and reinstall macports outside of the firewall.

 Thanks for your help. You can close this ticket.
