Maybe an update of Mac OS X or MacPorts.

The default perl in the PATH needs to provide LWP::Simple, e.g. for 
"isabelle components" or remote Sledgehammer.

This is one of the rare situations where we still have the IKEA principle: 
users need to make sure that they have a proper perl installation.
