I do not see a bug report in our issue tracker matching that problem. There appears to have been a stealth update. The file mirrored on the macports distfiles server matches the portfile's checksums, but the one currently being served from pear.php.net does not. The two different gzip files decompress to the same tarball though, and the same contents. Maybe the best solution is to update the port to the latest version. Probably all of the pear ports could use examination to find potential updates. All the pear ports were added en masse in 2011 and most have not been updated since then. pear-Archive_Tar was last updated in MacPorts in 2014.
