The "Range Not Satisfiable" errors are because your db-4.2.52.tar.gz is
of an incorrect size (probably larger than what's on the source site).
The last error (talking about modification time) could indicate that you
have a clock which is severely skewed or incorrect in some way.

Otherwise, if you're *absolutely 100% positive* all is well, then the
issue could be one of the following:

1) The db-4.2.52.tar.gz tarball on the distribution sites has changed,
2) There is a proxy server between you and the distribution site which
   is caching data and returning bad stuff,
3) You're experiencing underlying corruption going on (network or disk),
4) Your ports tree is outdated or broken (some pieces are out of date
   while others are correct).

Here's some evidence that things are indeed working (on my systems)
how you'd expect -- everything matches up perfectly:

$ wget -q http://download-east.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.2.52.tar.gz

$ md5 db-4.2.52.tar.gz
MD5 (db-4.2.52.tar.gz) = 8b5cff6eb83972afdd8e0b821703c33c

$ grep db-4.2.52.tar.gz /usr/ports/databases/db42/distinfo
MD5 (bdb/db-4.2.52.tar.gz) = 8b5cff6eb83972afdd8e0b821703c33c
SHA256 (bdb/db-4.2.52.tar.gz) = f4bddd8d1b4cde0daf5e13e3493ed62a25b736b0bf258e1d929e47bc6a82a28c
SIZE (bdb/db-4.2.52.tar.gz) = 3919271
