Many ports recently marked BROKEN/unfetchable that aren't broken?

If you were building these ports previously, then you probably have the 
distfiles in your local distfiles cache already.  That will give the 
impression that everything is fine if you just try and build the port. 
If you didn't have a cached copy of the distfiles, then you'ld probably 
have a rather different experience.

Although if you can show that the distfiles are now fetchable, eg. by:

     make distclean
     make fetch

then by all means please do report it.  A PR with patches is preferred, 
but any reasonable mechanism for bringing it to the attention of 
developers is acceptable.
