Yes, nail on the head methinks. This server is behind a proxy and portsnap works fine with it disabled. With combination of advproxy, havp and privoxy:

Just clearing the cache for the proxy didn't seem to solve the problem btw.

Strange. I've checked on portsnap1.freebsd.org, and those files are definitely intact. Are you using an HTTP proxy? It's possible that it might have cached a broken version of those files. Could you look in /var/db/portsnap and tell me how large those two files are?
