The 404 errors relate to fetching a pre-compiled binary. Pre-compiled binaries are not available for this port, due to license restrictions of its dependency faac. So these 404 errors are normal.

When a precompiled binary is not available, MacPorts tries to fetch the source code and build it on your computer:

This port fetches from cvs, and some problem was encountered while doing so.

This project's development has moved to git, so the port should be updated. I filed a ticket for that:

Fetching from git is more common, so you should experience fewer problems with that.
