3. run
sudo port selfupdate
How did you install macports? Did you use the install package? That is the easiest way to do it.

Thanks for helping. By the way, this is on a different computer from the one that I tried a month ago. So, that by way of noting that there would be no incompatibilities were this to get going.
1. Yes, I used the snow leopard DVD
2. Yes, I already had X11 installed.
I installed macports from the install package, yes.
3. Here's the result of the selfupdate, followed by another attempt at installing gd2. By the way, anything I try to install of the list you suggested above gives the same checksum error. (which sounds like an unpacking problem of some sort?)

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run

Did you already have expat installed sometime earlier? Could there be a problem with it?
