Either try it again, or fetch it manually, as it says.

I just hopped over there, and the file is available.
There is a usage limit on that server (# of simultaneous
connections), so perhaps that was it?

To fetch it manually, do (as root):

# cd /usr/ports/distfiles
# fetch 
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/fam/fam-2.6.9.tar.gz
