Well, "com.apple.checksum" isn't about a website; it's just a unique  
identifier for a piece of software, in this case the checksum  
software. And the message just means that the md5 checksum you  
entered doesn't match the md5 checksum of the archive. Perhaps one of  
the downloads (either the one you did manually, or the one MacPorts  
just did) was incomplete, and therefore the md5 checksum wasn't what  
it should be.
