 I have been trying to install virtualbox support for my FreeBSD 9.1. A

 installation. The package was downloaded automatically and it exists in
 /usr/ports/distfiles, yet it keeps giving an error stating that the file
 doesn't exist.

 Please help.

No idea about virtualbox port, but have you tried deleting the offending
file (rm -f /usr/ports/distfiles/v4l_compat-1.0.20120501.tar.gz)?

After deleting, you don't need to download it manually. The port should
download it if needed.  Try updating your ports tree to see if the problem
has been rectified.
