If that's so, please file a ticket in the issue tracker requesting the port be updated.

I'm not able to access the project's homepage so I don't know if their server is down or if they've moved or what.

That (files under tr1/ not found) is the typical error you will see in software designed for the pre-standard version of C++11, when trying to compile on OS X 10.9 or later (or earlier OS X, if reconfigured to use libc++). The software needs to be updated for compatibility with the final C++11 standard. It's possible this was already done in a later version of rtorrent, whose existence you mentioned above. You  should probably file this build error as a separate ticket.
