I am the maintainer of libmcrypt. The portfile has not recently  
changed, and the distfile seems to be in order too. Perhaps you got a  
bad download. Try "sudo port clean --all libmcrypt" and then try  
installing it again. If you still get the problem, please clean again  
and then show me the output of "sudo port -dv checksum libmcrypt".  
Also check your /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libmcrypt directory  
and see whether the archive stored there is in fact valid. (Can you  
decompress it or does it report errors?)

I see that bzip2 archives are also available. I will update the port  
to use those instead of the gzip archives to save download time.
