I believe tripwire, or any of its counterparts can do this quite nicely. Either that or a perl or shell script could also do this for you, shouldn't take too long. A shell script would look something like
find /usr/local -type f | xargs md5sum > /tmp/blah That will get all regular files under /usr/local and spit out the md5checksum for each, and dump it to /tmp/blah Should work.
