You might read this:

You might visit this fetch target in you web browser and check result:
http://jm.php.net/get/php-5.3.28.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror?dummy=


On my system there is no ip for jm.php.net:
$ dig +noall +short +time=2 jm.php.net
$ dig +noall +short +time=2 us1.php.net
php-mirror.nexcess.net.
208.69.120.58


You can try downloading the php5 distfiles from a different mirror:
$ sudo port clean --dist php5
$ sudo curl http://us1.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.28.tar.bz2 -o /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5/php-5.3.28.tar.bz2
$ sudo port -v checksum php5
$ sudo port install php5
