I'm working on upgrading the port of Proftpd from 1.3.3c to 1.3.3g as a
first step. From the binary file repository i see where the md5 #  comes
from but how do you get the sha1 and rmd160 numbers to place in the port
file? There is another file with each release, .asc, in the repository.

sha1 and rmd160 can be generated with openssl:

openssl sha1 path/to/file
openssl rmd160 path/to/file

The .asc file is a PGP signature that can be used to verify the
integrity and authenticity of the source file. You don't need to worry
about that for the Portfile.

Also, I think md5 in Portfiles is deprecated. The preferred hashes are
rmd160 and sha256.

If upstream provides a md5, I like to use it, as it makes double checking the port easier.
