Done in r26878.  Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm sure that someone will address this eventually; Darwinports (as  
it then was) used to be hosted as part of the OpenDarwin project, but  
that has since closed.  The new MacOSforge infrastructure is still  
coming together, and I imagine (or, rather, hope) that that will  
include a new source mirror for all of our ports.  You are probably  
right, though, that we should remove the *.opendarwin.org fallover  
since those servers have now gone dark.  Any takers?

Kind regards,
