No, of course not. The tcp checksum is checked on reception. 
So - please specify:

- what machine is seeing the checksum errors - the machine with NetBSD and
  the bge interface or the other?

- what machine is receiving the bulk data stream - the machine with
NetBSD and the bge interface or the other?

on the other machine? Please do.
