I just installed 5.3 and Xorg on a new box.  Went to install KDE, and
the install stopped.  This was the error:

Fetch:ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/fam/fam-2.6.9.tar.gz:
Service not available, closing control connection
 

Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
Port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/fam and try again
     

*** Error code 1
 

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

HTH,
