If you copy the kermit directory on the cdrom to your hard drive with

cp -R /cdrom/ports/comms/kermit /usr/ports/kermit

and then type make in the kermit directory that has Makefile, the
ftp to Columbia University will succeed--at least it did for me.

Also the first site in the Makefile does allow anonymous ftp.  Use

ftp> open kermit.columbia.edu

Next type ftp (for user) and then your e-mail address as a password.

Then cd to the appropriate directory.
