You are missing "v" at the end.

Remove.

Remove, already default (from github.setup).

Remove, set by default

First time you may remove those line and simply run
    sudo port -v extract
and the checksums will be printed out for you. Of course you need to
verify separately that you downloaded the correct file.

I didn't test that.

Remove, it should work by default.


So basically you need just

PortSystem          1.0
PortGroup           github 1.0
github.setup        rodneyrehm CFPropertyList 2.0.1 v

categories          php
platforms           darwin
license             MIT
maintainers         nomaintainer

description         PHP implementation of Apple's PropertyList
long_description    ${description}

checksums           rmd160  2b37ec78b604b66ac47d4925d2c450319cbf1d9e \
                    sha256
d01d8a26dd174479f72dce339a3d51b893f4efde5fd878858f639e6e34d80749

(plus of course the modeline + configure/build/destroot as required by
the build system, I didn't test that)
