Comment:

 Looks like the nawk port's version is 20110810 but the distfile on the
 nawk developer's page was updated 20120905. Unfortunately the developers
 distribute an [PortfileRecipes#unversioned-distfiles unversioned
 distfile], meaning that when an update happens, some users will encounter
 a checksum mismatch. The port should be updated to the new version.
