Trying to install openmotif as part of xpdf get error

I tried it three times with the same result. I did a port clean -- all openmotif before each try. /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/openmotif openmotif-2.3.0.tar.gz
Checksum seems wrong in the Portfile, I get this on the manually downloaded file:
99d0ecb84d3504da421021a19ff70500
Portfile has this:
ef8f8ca6f6f80bfb96351f12b550b29b
Try editing the portfile to see if this works around the error.
Ok, but *why* is it wrong. The checksum exists exactly so that we can detect when the distfile changes under our noses. Blindly changing the checksum to the file's current checksum completely defeats the purpose of having the check in the first place.

I did a port sync but now I get a new error

After a port sync I get this too. It looks like the problem is the ghostscript port, but I don't know why. Maybe someone else can have a look at this.
I believe this has been resolved already: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/28003
