Subversion's checksumming makes sure that you get exactly the same files that are on the Subversion server at this particular moment in time. The Ports Collection's distfile checksums make sure that you get exactly the same files *as the port maintainer examined at some previous moment in time*. The difference is crucial. svnadmin create /home/svn/foo svn import http://.../foo/trunk/mycoolproject =20 <create a port of mycoolproject> rm -rf /home/svn/foo svnadmin create /home/svn/foo svn import http://.../foo/trunk/mycoolproject =2E..and suddenly the port fetches something completely different.
