It is interesting that Linux distributions have not noticed this either
(Gentoo, ArchLinux and Fedora at least also have wrong checksums).

In some cases, the projects offer non-tagged tarballs in BitBucket and
are thus no subject to this kind of change; in other cases, fetching the
tarball may lead to an HTTP 302 status code and the tarball hosted in
FreeBSD's mirrors is then fetched etc (the total number of packages with
their tarballs hosted in BitBucket is small, though).

It also happened earlier in 2011:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=159690 (at the time, the
change looked like the exact opposite of the one which happened in
November).
