I agree. http://caml.inria.fr/ appears to be down, as does ftp:// 
ftp.inria.fr/ . You could try to contact the administrator of that  
server, if you can find out who that is. In the mean time, you can  
try to find "ocaml-3.10.1.tar.bz2" elsewhere (try googling it) and  
manually drop it into /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ocaml/ and  
MacPorts will use it.

Side note: 3.10.2 appears to have been released at the end of  
February so perhaps the port should also be updated.
