I'm going to confirm that this was a recent patch to the ports tree:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/databases/mysql55-server/distinfo?r1=320671&r2=321789

It's pretty clear the versions the port is trying to download -used- to 
match the distinfo file, but they no longer do. This cryptic comment:

   Distfile rerolled to make it clearer the license of this
   community edition (GPLv2).

seems to be the source of these errors which are biting me too.

It would be nice for some clearer documentation on why distinfo was 
changed, what the real issue is, and what we can do to build this 
"correctly". Naively speaking, the version available for download off 
the mysql site matches the old distinfo SHA checksum so I'm not sure why 
this was changed at all.

I've CC'd the ports list and the responsible committer on this. I'll 
file a PR too if I get no response to this message. :)
