I do this as well :-) I rely on the buildbot and tickets to point out issues.

I find it less likely that I'd be given a phishy distfile than the buildbot or 
other users: if there's a discrepancy then I'll explore it further.

Similarly, as I mentioned in the other thread, if we really do want to concern 
ourselves with matching the upstream checksums we can actually include _all_ 
checksums in every portfile.
