Alas, this is expected.  Because of the security incident
(http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html) all of the package
building cluster is temporarily quarantined.  So there aren't any
packages built for 9.1-RELEASE.

You should be able to use pkg_tools packages built for any 9.x release
or stable/9 if you can locate them on the FTP servers (although these
will be at least about 2 months old by now) or you can grab the ports
(use of portsnap recommended) and build your own.
