Did you read the page MisbehavingServers to which the error message referred you? What is in the HTML file that got downloaded?

I am getting 404 as http://packages.macports.org/expat does not have required file. It has "expat-2.0.1_1.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2" but macports are trying to fetch "expat-2.0.1_1.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2"

That has nothing to do with the problem. Those are packages; we're talking about distfiles. What does the file /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/expat/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz contain? It's supposed to be a gzipped tar archive of the expat source, but the error message tells us it's actually an HTML file, so for example copy that file to your desktop, rename it with .html at the end of the filename, and open it in a text editor or a web browser and tell us what it says. Or just attach it here.

I can fix this by manual download, but, maybe, is other way to fix

Ok, looks like there was a problem downloading from SourceForge. Too bad their error message didn't tell us which mirror it was that was having the problem. Clean and try again. Hopefully they've resolved the problem by now. If not, talk to SourceForge.
sudo port clean --all expat
Curiously, a Google search for "There was a problem serving the download" yields only this ticket. So it would appear to be a problem nobody else has ever documented before.

Thanks a lot. It would be nice if macports were able to provide more information. I was able to install this package.

What specifically would you have MacPorts do differently?

I'd like the installation log to be more verbose. I could not figure out that the problem had been on sourceforge mirror by lookin into.
