[...] If you haven't checked out the "Post Install Notes" page at:

yet, those are also helpful, especially the bit about adding a SourceForge mirror to your /etc/hosts file. Without it, most ports that depend on source code from SourceForge will fail to download the sources. Should that note perhaps be added to the handbook?
I suppose, that is beyond the scope of the Handbook. It is in the FAQ [1]. You'll have to try a few mirrors before choosing the one that works better for you. Use '/usr/bin/dig download.sf.net' (from core/bindutils) to find a _current_ list of available mirrors' ip addresses.
