That means that a dependency of the port failed to build at the time
of the release (which strikes me as odd-- I've copied erwin The i386
Package Guy to see if he knows)

I'd try setting PACKAGESITE to
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/Latest/,
that should help.

If you're running csh:

# setenv PACKAGESITE
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/Latest/
# pkg_add -r xorg
