I used wget to download, using the option mentioned in the error message given, and installed it in /usr/portage/distfiles. Then "emerge realplayer" again. It's not pretty but it worked.

Several people on this list, me included, have been bitten by this.
Note the "s" in "https". That means "secure". wget is the program that
emerge uses to download files. In order to access "https" URLs, wget
*MUST* be emerged with the "ssl" flag. You can either set it globally
in your /etc/make.conf, or if you just want to affect wget, enter this
line in /etc/portage/package.use
net-misc/wget ssl
You must emerge wget after setting the "ssl" flag, and then wget can
access "https" URLs.
