#22320: port command downloads files that are already present

Today I updated the db4 port from version 4.6.21_5 to 4.6.21_6. I noticed
that even though the upstream tarball already existed in
/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/db4/4.6.21_5 from when I installed that
version, the exact same upstream tarball was downloaded and placed into
/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/db4/4.6.21_6. This is both wasteful
(especially for people on metered connections) and also unnecessarily
slows the installation process, especially for those on slow connections.
