It's a long story, but it's an artifact of a time when the original source distribution was going through some small, apparently gratuitous changes with no version bumps at all. It was breaking the port so much that Mike Smith (the maintainer at the time) gave up trying to track the checksum changes and just had the port ignore it. After this last occurrence, I've posted a plea on the VNC list for changes in either the source distribution or the documentation distribution to be accompanied by a version number bump and an announcements, but no one's answered me yet.
