This problem occurs with others applications like nasm, xfig and the like.
I could not figure it out what i am doing wrong.
I've seen this behaviour before when a sourceforge mirror was down. The
easiest way to get this done is to manually download the required files
to /usr/ports/distfiles from whereever they are stored (see the Makefile
for that).

Another option is also to simply use packages. Going off your earlier
post, I believe you are running 3.8-stable. Even though packages are
fom -release, you can still install them on 3.8-stable systems.
From http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#NoFun
"Because no intrusive changes are made in -stable, it is possible to use
a -stable ports tree on a -release system, and vice versa. There is no
need to update all your installed packages after applying a few errata
patches to your system."
