If you go to the address above, you'll find no xemacs-mule- 
sumo-2006-05-10.tar.gz but an xemacs-sumo-2006-12-21.tar.gz instead.
This is consistent with the fact it worked a month ago (before  
2006-12-21). The Portfile needs to be updated to point at this, or  
better, to point at xemacs-sumo.tar.gz which seems to be a link to  
the latest build.  But then shouldn't this port be called xemacs-devel?

... Thus the file can't be fetched

Ask the port maintainer to fix it!
