This isn't the most helpful error message you could have composed, Charlse.

It looks like freenix.org redirects to here (

and looking at the port's information, I can find out where the project is
based and find out that that server is the same as the unreachable one
above.

kitchen:~ paul$ port info bing
bing 1.0.5, net/bing (Variants: universal)
http://www.freenix.fr/freenix/logiciels/bing.html

Bing is a point-to-point bandwidth measurement tool (hence the 'b'), based
on ping. Bing determines the real (raw, as opposed to available or average)
throughput on a link by measuring ICMP echo requests roundtrip times for
different packet sizes for each end of the link.

and it looks like the project may be dormant.

But there is a mirror listed there. You may want incorporate that into the
Portfile and see if it works. A diff from that would be helpful.
