Over several days I've tried to get the ocaml port, via:

Checking the first URL in a browser results in a timeout. Seems the INRIA site maybe out of action, but I thought I'd ask the mp team.

I agree. http://caml.inria.fr/ appears to be down, as does ftp:// ftp.inria.fr/ . You could try to contact the administrator of that server, if you can find out who that is. In the mean time, you can try to find "ocaml-3.10.1.tar.bz2" elsewhere (try googling it) and manually drop it into /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ocaml/ and MacPorts will use it. Side note: 3.10.2 appears to have been released at the end of February so perhaps the port should also be updated.
