I think something in MacPorts must recently have broken w.r.t. the definition of the master sites. Here's another bug report about this:

Hasn't the "opendarwin" master sites alias been removed from MacPorts recently?
Yes, I removed it. Most of the mirrors are offline now and we shouldn't care about the ones that remain online... 'cause that's all there is to them, they only "remain". Whatever was in them should be moved to the macports mirrors list, and ltmain13 and ltconfig13 are already there under Yve's distfile directory.
If so, then the 160 ports that still use that alias (mostly lots of kde stuff) are now broken since they don't know where to fetch from. How should we handle this?
As simple as updating the Portfiles as we go along, encouraging users to submit patches if they care enough to fix them themselves. While on the subject, ltmain13 and ltconfig13 should be moved out of Yve's dir and into their own, with ports fetching them through macports:ltmain13 & macports:ltconfig13 master_sites entries.
