I think the vim ports is broken.
Nope not broken just takes a long time to grab that patch since it pulls
from FreeBSD ftp localdistfiles mirror under obrien
The port *is* broken:

# fetch
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/obrien/7.2.041%
fetch:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/obrien/7.2.041%: Bad
Request
#

as fetch cannot handle "%" correctly.
sure it can, it just needs '' around the url.
The distinfo file is wrong. Edit it and put the correct data for that patch:

MD5 (vim/7.2.041) = 66bde35426c09d9c666e23215f9a19c9
SHA256 (vim/7.2.041) =
524aa9aeb9f8729fb91289f40a4c5fecf5d0d07d3655c4a38a65abc98f7cd71b
SIZE (vim/7.2.041) = 22993

Opps, now I got it: the official 7.2.041 patch can not be applied
cleanly so David provided a custom one. Choosing "%" to differentiate
it, however, was a bad idea. It would be better to use a simple
underscore.

Why is % any worse than an underscore? As I explained earlier, fetch has no problem dealing with it. The errors people were posting are server-side, ftp.freebsd.org has no problems handling it.
