I read in another post that if I can find the distfiles I can grab them myself & plop them in /opt/local/.../distfiles/mrxvt & re-run the port install.

Is there another option I could try?

In this case it's not the main distfile but a patchfile. An incorrect change was made to the list of patchfiles for this port in r31242. I undid that change in r31730 and the port should now install. Wait 30 minutes, then "sudo port selfupdate", then try installing it again.
