(I'm curious why you didn't install 3.0.)

In earlier versions, patches were necessary to get VNC to compile on
FreeBSD and NetBSD. Those problems were removed from the source awhile
back, and you can now build it by just following the simple instructions in
the README. Attempting to build using ports would probably fail even if it
ignored the MD5, because the patches most likely wouldn't match. (I'm just
guessing, as I don't recall the exact version when the need for patches was
removed, and have never installed it on FreeBSD, only NetBSD (I used to use
the FreeBSD patches, but don't anymore).
