This page is giving a set of examples of ways to do different things, it is not a set of instructions to follow in order. > http://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/guide.html > make build No issues with this page that I can see. > http://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/testing.html > > make fetch > make checksum > make makesum > make regress This page is a guide for testing ports not a guide for standard ports building. It isn't telling you to 'make makesum' anywhere. What it's doing is taking you through individual steps in sequence, one-by-one, so that it's very clear at which point an error occurs. Nowhere tells you to 'update/repackage/reinstall' which is pointless if you think about what it's actually doing: build a package, update the installed package to the new one, create the same package again, uninstall the package and then reinstall it....
