Correction: according to the ticket, the problem is not the initial  
svn checkout but an external it then wants to check out afterward.  
The fetch does not fail for me, yet if I use debug mode I see that  
the external did not get fetched:

svn: warning: Error handling externals definition for 'taglib/admin':
svn: warning: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/ 
3.5/kde-common/admin': Server certificate verification failed: issuer  
is not trusted (https://svn.kde.org)

I do not know why port did not recognize that this was a fatal error.

Taking a cue from the above ticket, I ran

svn ls https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kde-common/admin

in the terminal and answered "p" to get it to accept the certificate  
permanently. Then the port fetch worked correctly.
