I looked into implementing it once, but it seemed like there was a great distance between the place where the checksum data was available and the place where the curl progress bar was being shown; I could not immediately imagine how the size information should be propagated between those two places. (For example, should an expected_size parameter be added to each of several function calls along the way?)

It was released in MacPorts 2.4.4.
