Usually, this happens to you when you are not su'ed to root and you are trying to ftp files into the /usr/ports directories. If you'll check your perms, you'll see /usr/ports is 755. THe permission denied error comes from ftp not being able to create the file in the current directory you are attempting to download into. The way to resolve this is to su to root and then try to make the port.
