Comment (by ryandesign):

 Yes, of course.

 Many ports are old and have not been touched. There are probably still
 many that list only an md5 sum. They should be changed to list two newer
 sums and size.

 For many years, our default set of checksum types was md5, sha1 and
 sha256. Even though md5 and sha1 are considered insecure, the fact that
 both are used to secure a single file means that the file's integrity is
 still assured.
