Actually.  A couple of months ago the PORTS tree was reorganized to use
fewer directories and such save space.  The files from the pkg/
directory was moved up one level and files/md5 became distinfo.  If a
port had patches they are now in the files directory.

Yesterday all the old files were removed since there has been no
problems with the new system.
