Pop in the correct checkums, commented out the old ones.

I am not sure how to do this, I think I saw it the other day, but can
not find it. I do not like the idea of `port edit some-port` and
editing it in place. But it also is a bit of work to set up a local
repo for some.
I just ran:
$mkdir ~/Desktop/testport; cp -Rp `port dir libsdl` ~/Desktop/testport
So, make a dir on the desktop, and then copy all libsdl files,
maintain dates and such for fun, into the testport dir on my desktop.
I then replaced the Portfile with the altered one, in this case, just
checksum changed, bit I think I could have just dropped the .diff into
the files directory.
$cd ~/Desktop/testport/libsdl
$port lint
---> Verifying Portfile for libsdl
Error: Portfile parent directory testport does not match primary
category devel
---> 1 errors and 0 warnings found.
* Understandable error.
Aside from the lint error, can I just `sudo port install` at that
point, and not harm/change the base MacPorts software? Or do I need
to `portindex` and set up my local repo?
I don't mind, for me, but it would be nice to say to a user:
1) download my temp fixed portfiles from here: http://whatever
2) run sudo port -hmmm -hmmm2 path/to/files ~/Downloads/newportfile
Pretty sure I saw there was a way to do something a lot like this.
