This looks like mine.

This is the wrong distfile.

I believe something in your juxtaposition of commands in your command line 
above [near beginning of post] has produced an out of order and munged path. 
I haven't built the python26 port anytime recently, but have several django 
related things running fine under it.

What I do is csup the ports tree by itself (not trying to do it at the same 
time on the same command line as the build). I keep my csup housekeeping and 
supfiles in /usr/sup so I just cd /usr/sup and csup -L 2 ports where my 
'ports' file simply contains:

*default host=cvsup.nl.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix compress
ports-all

After the ports tree refresh is finished then I install software by changing 
to the appropriate port directory and do the usual make && make install && 
make clean dance. I also use portupgrade so there are additional 
embellishments for use in an update/upgrade scenario.

Try separating the steps, ala do the ports tree refresh to completion first, 
then attempt to install the port.
