It should be safe to do the Ctrl-c. You are doing a fetch. What can go wrong? If you only have a partial distfile, and portupgrade can't handle that, at the worst, you cd /usr/ports/distfiles, remove the partial file, and try again. Things only get messy if you kill a job during an install. Since nothing has been added to the port database, you can probably just install it again. I did a portupgrade -FN rdiff-backup-1.2.6,1 and was able to download the distfile. I only saw 18KBps, which I assume means there are a other people doing a fetch from that site.
