Note that 407 is "Proxy Authentication Required" which means your proxy
needs a user/password to get through.  MacPorts' proxy handling doesn't
currently have any handling of this (it's just host & port), hence you
seeing the 407 errors.

Short of manually downloading the necessary distfiles and putting them in
the right places, I'm not sure of another way to work around this.
