They're in the ports tree, but they don't get removed. If you look in the
port resource directory you'll see where old versions of PortGroups are
retained even though they're not used by current ports, so that older
Portfiles will still work.

So if I check for the file's existence, say [file exists
> ${filespath}/checksum.table] I shouldn't be getting any errors?


Correct.
