	Checking down the queue I saw that Brett Taylor replied to
	this.  I'll toss in my observations (since I'm currently 
	transitioning from 2.2.8 -> 3.2 on one system).  

	Before a port passes and is published in the ports' tree,
	its checksum matches.  If you have to over-ride this, then
	somewhere something is broken.

	It's wise to clean your /usr/ports/distfiles/<tarball>,
	update the ports tree (by CVSup or by downloading the latest
	port tarball) for every port.  __And its dependencies.__

	Yes, it takes time.  But you will wind up with a solid
	build--(or at least as  solid as the utility :)
