What does this file contain? It should be an HTML page of some sort that explains why the correct file was not fetched. Perhaps a server's DNS name did not resolve and you were on a network that does not report those failures correctly, or perhaps you were on a network with a captive portal and hadn't logged in yet. Various possible causes are explained here:

So then cleaning and trying again should work.

sudo port clean --all bind9
