During "computing dependencies", no http requests would be made by MacPorts, as 
far as I know. Port information for all ports is already on your computer; 
that's what you're updating every time you run "sudo port sync" or "sudo port 
selfupdate". Computing dependencies would however involve opening the portfile 
and portgroup files for each port that is a dependency of the port you're 
installing that's not already installed. If you have not yet installed (m)any 
ports, and the port you've requested has a lot of dependencies, this could be a 
lot of files and take some minutes. According to "port rdeps 
auto-multiple-choice", there are 300 ports to be considered. So you could 
possibly improve the situation by installing some of the dependencies 
individually first. Look at the output of "port deps auto-multiple-choice" and 
"sudo port install" some of those ports by themselves. Then later, return to 
trying to install auto-multiple-choice itself.
