This is telling you the source code does not exist on your system.

Here it is telling you it is trying to get the source code from
avahi.inria.fr
The unknown host message says it can not find that host's address.
Do you have an internet connection when you typed make?
Otherwise, with no internet connection, the fetch command will always
fail.
Also if you have the cd collection, check to see if the source code is
supplied
in that, and if YES, copy it to /usr/ports/distfiles and type `make`
again from the
ports/graphics/xpm directory.
