MacPorts knows to download new files when necessary.

git-core checksums just fine for me. It looks like you got a  
corrupted download. Use "sudo port clean --all git-core" to clean out  
the bad downloads. Then try installing again and they will be fetched  
again. This is mentioned in the FAQ on reasons why a checksum error  
might occur:
