Are you keeping your ports tree up to date?  IIRC, you're running a 
4.3 based system.  Looking at the current Makefile for 
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base, I don't see ftp.freesoftware.com 
listed.

<snip from the Makefile>

MASTER_SITES=           ${RPM_MIRRORS:S/__DIR__/${STDDIR}/g}
...
RPM_MIRRORS=            \
        ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/__DIR__/ \
        ftp://ftp.infomagic.com/pub/mirrors/linux/RedHat/__DIR__/ \
        ftp://ftp.crc.ca/mirrors/by-site/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/__DIR__/ \
        ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/site/ftp.redhat.com/redhat/__DIR__/ \
        ftp://mirror.nucba.ac.jp/mirror/redhat/__DIR__/ \
        ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/__DIR__/ \
        ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/redhat/__DIR__/ \
        ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/linux/redhat/__DIR__/

Perhaps you need to update your ports tree?

If that's the case, the short and sweet version of how to do that is 
here (see section 4.5.1 "CVSup Method"):

The more comprehensive explanation of using cvsup is here:

Have fun!
