Looks like, with the update to 2.7.2, they've moved the older tarball to the
old/ subdirectory, as mentioned in ticket #16781 [1].  Until the port is
updated to either the current version or to find the 2.7.1 version, you can
follow the fetch failures [2] step on the problem hotlist page of the wiki.
