For the latter, you might want to look at Bill Fenner's port survey >(http://www.freebsd.org/~fenner). I was going after each MASTER_SITE and verifying it. The point of this target was so when someone creates a port they can verify that it really does exist at all the places they list and with the same checksum. I have since created a target which does this. After I clean it up a bit I'll share it.
