This is incorrect.  Let me try and clarify.

If you change PORTVERSION/DISTNAME/DISTFILES/...  and then run `make
makesum` the new distfiles are fetched first and distinfo is replaced
with their checksums irregardless of what was in distinfo before.
You do *not* have to run `make fetch` first.

'makesum' is the target you should use as a maintainer not 'fetch'.

Can you add a link to the section of the Porter's Handbook that you find
problematic?
