You should refer to our checksum mismatch FAQ entry:

http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#checksums

You should tell us what server the file you got was downloaded from. "sudo port clean --all hdf5-18" again and try again and it should tell you.

I just verified that the file on ftp.hdfgroup.org does have the correct checksums.
