$ curl -I 
http://128.210.3.14/mirrors/blastwave.org/unstable/sparc/5.8/catalog
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

So that is not going to work.  The reason is because the server uses the
host name to decide what to do.  How to set the host header?  First test
again with curl:

$ curl -I -H "Host:ftp.math.purdue.edu" 
http://128.210.3.14/mirrors/blastwave.org/unstable/sparc/5.8/catalog
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Good, now with wget:


$ wget --header="Host:ftp.math.purdue.edu" 
http://128.210.3.14/mirrors/blastwave.org/unstable/sparc/5.8/catalog -O 
/dev/null

--15:57:43--  
http://128.210.3.14/mirrors/blastwave.org/unstable/sparc/5.8/catalog
           => `/dev/null'
Connecting to 128.210.3.14:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

you get make pkg-get use this by setting WGET:
$ WGET="wget --header=Host:ftp.math.purdue.edu"
$ export WGET

$ $WGET 
http://128.210.3.14/mirrors/blastwave.org/unstable/sparc/5.8/catalog -O 
/dev/null
--16:00:45--  
http://128.210.3.14/mirrors/blastwave.org/unstable/sparc/5.8/catalog
           => `/dev/null'

Or it would be better specifically in the url setting (untested by
me, please try it):

url="--header=Host:ftp.math.purdue.edu 
http://128.210.3.14/mirrors/blastwave.org/unstable/"
