This seems to be a ports-infrastructure problem, rather than a
problem in the vrml2pov port.  "make fetch-recursive" reports

  fetch: http://www.chemicalgraphics.com/paul/vrml2pov/dist/v0.7/vrml2pov-src.zip: Moved Temporarily

and gives up after the attempt from ftp.FreeBSD.org also fails.
However, Firefox successfully downloads the distfile from the
chemicalgraphics.com URL.  The infrastructure needs to handle
redirections.
