I encountered a similar problem when installing pkg-config which is  
also hosted by freedesktop.org.  The .tar.gz file MacPorts got from  
freedesktop.org contained the text of the error message.  (You can  
check your assumption by examining the contents of the file that was  
downloaded.)  I worked around this problem by locating the .tar.gz  
file on a mirror, manually downloading it and copying it into the  
proper place and then running the install command again.  This worked  
fine as the mirror's file was identical and thus the checksums matched.
