To add something to Boris' words, the methods given in the Handbook are
reliable and tested methods (many times on various systems).  If they do
not work, it's either a port problem (vulnerabilities, ports tree, etc.)
or a system problem.

Regarding the distfile, it seems they changed the file:
=> Attempting to fetch from
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/current/9/.
fetch: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/current/9/install_flash_player_9.tar.gz: size mismatch: expected 3057882, actual 3057910
