Cleaning the work directory is insufficient because the distfile is  
not stored in the work directory. It's stored in the distpath. You  
need to "port clean --all sane-backends" to remove both the work  
directory and the distpath. This is documented in the FAQ on checksum  
errors:

FAQ#IgetError:checksummd5sha1rmd160mismatchforport.WhatcanIdoaboutit

It works fine for me, so hopefully you just got a bad download and  
cleaning will let you download it again. If not, please show us which  
server it downloaded the file from; the port defines several possible  
download locations.
