The md5 file was used some time ago to record tarball checksums. As of
today, it is named "distinfo". The fact that "make" complains about
the missing file suggests that you have downloaded a very recent
version of the webmin port, but have a rather old ports collection
installed. You should at least upgrade the files in /usr/ports/Mk/, but
while you are there you may as well update the entire collection.

See /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html for
instructions on updating the ports collection.

As a quick fix, you may try to use this command:

# cvsup -g -1 -h cvsup10.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

(cvsup10 is one of the many cvsup mirrors, see the cvsup.html page for more)

Make sure your system date is correctly set before installing webmin: the
security/p5-Net-SSLeay port used by webmin may have problem if the date is
wrong.

Then:

# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin && make install -DWITH_UPDATES

And you'll get the webmin updates too :o)

If you have any troubles with the webmin port just drop me a note.
