>Description:
The files for the pam_krb5 port are unfetchable. 

The current version of the port is looking for pam-krb5-4.3.tar.gz from  http://archives.eyrie.org/software/kerberos/. The only version of the file available from there is pam-krb5-4.4.tar.gz, suggesting that the author has released a new version and has moved the 4.3 file out of the folder. Worse, the ftp.FreeBSD.org distfiles doesn't have anything for pam_krb5 (perhaps because the port is broken?)

Snooping around, it looks like you can still download the 4.3 file (as well as all other versions) from http://archives.eyrie.org/software/ARCHIVE/pam-krb5/.

I'd suggest two fixes - one, upgrade the port to look for 4.4; two, change the port to look for the file from both locations so that the port doesn't break every time the author releases a new version.
