I've been promising to do this for the better part of a year now. 
The plan was to include tripwire in the ports collection, and build a 
precomputed database corresponding to the release binaries that would 
be included on the CDROM. You could them run tripwire against the CD 
database to look for altered files.

I will see if I can free up a couple of days over the Xmas holidays to 
complete this work.
