Super you got it running.  PS, I had to do that as well...

  rm /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/fp7_archive.zip

Updating your ports (with portsnap or the cvsup) when trying to fix problems is always a good idea. 
  Sometimes when everything seems busted the portupgrade tool can be helpful in rebuilding all your 
ports.  Set it running before you go to bed, and ta-da, in the morning everything is working -- or 
completely broken  :)
