To clarify: DNS works OK, but nothing else on UDP does.  I added a rule 
that's supposed to allow all outbound UDP, but nope.  And yes, a router of 
a different brand is on its way...  This Sagemcom 5355 seems to be 
designed for the gamer brigade.

Thanks.

Anyway, this is getting OT now, so thanks to all for your assistance;
MacPorts is OK after all, and the problem is definitely local.
