How I installed Joe today (Wed May 15):

I looked at the Makefile in /usr/ports/editors/joe.
It says: MASTERSITES=ftp:/ftp.com.std/src/editors
	 DISTNAME=joe2.8
	 EXTRACT_SUFX=.tar.Z
I got on the Net via Dialup IP
	(SLIP,PPP Dynamic,Static IP; it doesn't matter).
I ftp-ed the file to my PC.
ftp
ftp>open ftp.com.std
...
ftp>cd src/editors
ftp>ls
ftp>get joe2.8.tar.Z
...
ftp>bye

Put joe2.8.tar.Z in /usr/ports/distfiles directory
Go to /usr/ports/editors/joe
make build
make install

READY !

You used the wrong version of the distribution.
In /usr/ports/editors/joe/patches there is a patch, that will
work probably only with the right version !!

By the way: the 'MAGIC' of the ports is extensively described in
the FreeBSD Handbook. Look at http://www.freebsd.org/
If you have installed it. look at the directory /usr/share/doc.
There is a directory FAQ and handbook
Try
	file://localhost/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html
in a WWW-browser

Greetings Peter Joosten
