sha1 and rmd160 can be generated with openssl:

openssl sha1 path/to/file
openssl rmd160 path/to/file

The .asc file is a PGP signature that can be used to verify the
integrity and authenticity of the source file. You don't need to worry
about that for the Portfile.

Also, I think md5 in Portfiles is deprecated. The preferred hashes are
rmd160 and sha256.
