I also get this every now and then, often with proprietary packages. If 
google were to patch and recompile without changing version numbers.  
then this would happen as the binary size and MD5 no longer match. Or, 
it could be wrong data in portage. Try resync and try again. If that 
doesn't work, you could always check that the download is correct by 
comparing with google's published md5 and "fixing" your local portage 
tree:

ebuild /path/to/googleearth/ebuild digest
ebuild /path/to/googleearth/ebuild manifest
