Ah, "make distinfo" in the relevant pkgsrc directory.  That works; it
makes /usr/pkgsrc/mk/checksum/checksum claim that the checksum is wrong
(and it also disagrees with the checksum algorithm the distfile claims
has been used), but the actual "make patch" process works.

I'll just squeeze my eyes tightly closed and use it.  Thanks!  :)
