So you're having trouble retrieving the openssl-0.9.8e.tar.gz  
distfile. I can't get to www.openssl.org myself right now. Maybe  
they're having server trouble. Find the archive elsewhere and  
download it manually. Search for "openssl-0.9.8e.tar.gz" in Google  
and you should be able to find it. Then place it in /opt/local/var/ 
macports/distfiles/openssl and try your install again.
