OK I just attempted to grab the file listed above, and had no trouble 
retrieving
it. So I'm going to guess your system is having difficulty finding the host.
Just in case it's an intermittent problem. What happens if you cd to:
/usr/ports/x11/luit
and perform a make fetch ? If it fails on the first attempt, does issuing the
command a couple of more times finally return a success? Do you have any
restrictions on the ftp port(s) within your firewall? Assuming your running 
one
of course.
