Looks like MacPorts doesn't like the delete...
port uninstall p5-xml-parser
and
port install p5-xml-parser should help - but see below.

So the problem seems to be clearly related to p5-xml-parser.
Could you check

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_private_var_macports_sources_svn.macports.org_trunk_dports_perl_p5-xml-parser/main.log

It would also be interesting from where you system tries to download the 
bad file.
I just did
sudo port uninstall p5-xml-parser
sudo port-install p5-xml-parser
and it worked

Anything special with your network connection? Maybe ftp:// does not 
work for you (or at leat with the CPAN server)
Could you try to replace the broken download with a HTTP download? E.g.

http://www.planet-elektronik.de/CPAN/authors/id/C/CH/CHORNY/XML-Parser-2.40.tar.gz
