This is because you are creating the sums in an incorrect way.

pkgsrc strips the first line of the patch files, the one containing the
$NetBSD$ tag, and then applies the digest algorithm.  This is to avoid
changes in the digest after committing the files.

The correct way to generate the checksums is to run 'make makepatchsum'
(or 'make mps' for short) inside the package directory.
