I found a mirror of the libxml2 tarball which downloads with correct checksum and seems to be OK to insert into the macports build process. I needed this to get php5 to build; haven't finished this and don't know how to check that the resulting libxml2 actually works right. Perhaps someone with libxml savvy can test that?
