Sometimes case-only renames ("Files" -> "files") don't work right on case-insensitive filesystems, and it's simpler to just delete the directory and let selfupdate recreate it.

That has nothing to do with it in this case. The port is trying to fetch the patchfile from servers. That's never going to work; the patchfile isn't on any of those servers. The patchfile is supposed to be in the files directory that lives next to the portfile. The steps I suggested above should hopefully fix it so that the patchfile gets put where it's supposed to be.
