If Googling "ntfs-3g-1.1120.tgz" doesn't locate it for you, then I  
don't know. If you can find it, you can drop it in /opt/local/var/ 
macports/distfiles/ntfs-3g and MacPorts will use it, provided it's  
the correct file.

Well, the files were never there. MacPorts just looks in the  
repository as a backup for all ports, but most ports do not have  
copies of their distfiles in the MacPorts repository, because there's  
usually no need to have them there, and the MacPorts project is not  
in the business of providing a general distfile mirror.

I filed a ticket for you:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14435

In the future, please file tickets yourself. Thanks.
