md5 -s "some string" will give you the md5 hash of "some string" --
it's not what you want.
You need to run:
md5 httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz
and then compare that output to the distinfo file in the www/apache2
port:
% cat distinfo
MD5 (apache2/httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz) = 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c
MD5 (apache2/powerlogo.gif) = 0f106073b3c7844cf22d4df126b27c62
Yup. You've got the correct httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz sources.
Of couse, you don't have to do this by hand. It's done automatically
as part of building the port.
Cheers,
Matthew

The "-s 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c" part of your command is
requesting an md5 hash of the literal string of characters
"466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c".
That's almost certainly not what you want, and will only serve to
confuse. Try running just this instead:
md5 /tmp/httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz
and see "man md5" for more info.

Essentially, yes; many source tarballs come with an .md5 file which you
can diff against the output of the md5 command.
But FreeBSD's ports system will check md5's for you automatically.
The ports tree is very, very convenient, and I'd recommend using it
whenever possible.
