The openmotif port is unmaintained and the organization of the  
openmotif web site is incomprehensible to me. Maybe they no longer  
offer that version. I found the file on another site and added it to  
the portfile. Wait a few hours, "sudo port sync", and then try again.

If you can find a newer archive at the openmotif web site, I'd be  
happy to update the portfile to that version instead.
