Getting a tarball yourself is a guaranteed recipe for a failing
checksum. However you can use this tarball in make install. Checksum
manually if you want to make sure you've got the right, untampered
package. Then put in /usr/ports/distfiles. Next you can do a make
install but add 'NO_CHECKSUM=Yes'
