I tried downloading 5.0.26 from that location just now and get a "404  
Not Found" response.

 From this URL I get a "302 Moved" response which redirects to http:// 
mirrors.he.net/cgi-bin/error404, and that URL delivers a "200 OK"  
response. No wonder MacPorts can't see that this is supposed to  
represent an error. This mirror is configured stupidly.

Perhaps the problem is that MySQL 5.0.27 was just released. Perhaps  
all the mirrors have already deleted 5.0.26 from their servers.  
Rather inconvenient for us.

James is the maintainer of mysql5. James, do you have time to update  
mysql5 to 5.0.27? If not, I'd be happy to do it.

I thought that was all that was needed. Perhaps you need to say "sudo  
port clean --dist <package>"
