I think the "root of the hanging problem" is the "You will be  
disconnected after 5 mins of inactivity."  You dont say which version  
you tried to download manually, but the current version is 2.6.3  ---  
the port file was trying to ftp 2.5.1 which may no longer be allowed  
to download. Try editing the port file
sudo port edit wordpress
and change the version number in the mastersite line to 2.6.3

Then try to install. If that works, then write up a bug in traq and  
attach your new portfile, and make note here that you have done that.  
Someone will then commit it for you.

Wordpress has no maintainer -- unless you'd like to volunter.  ;)
