Yes, the downloads are not verified. I'm not terribly fussed about that. Maybe I should be. Maybe I just don't want the added inconvenience of having to create and upload tarballs every time I want to update a port that uses vcs fetching.

sounds like something that could be automated so that it wouldn't be painful for the port maintainer, but still gives the benefit of pulling a verified tarball for end-users.
