I was talking about the base system, not ports.  I guess I should've 
been clearer about that.  I don't think the base system checks the MD5 
sums during buildworld.  But then I have NO_SENDMAIL turned on in 
make.conf anyway, so what would I know.

And ports would check the MD5 so, everything is happy.
