        Um, most FreeBSD users compile from source with a
        custom /etc/make.conf file.
        
        There online pkgs, but I don't know of anyone that commonly uses
        them. I know people uses them for openoffice and a few of the
        things that take a long time to download, but not commonly.
        
        You can download the packages from:
        
        ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-stable/
        
        and run pkg_check You might be able to extract the signature
        from the package.
        
        The packages themselves are signed. There is no separate
        signature file. /etc/ssl/pkg.crt is the location of the public
        key for the packages.
        
        Basically, there are no online checksums for FreeBSD.

        might help you.
        
        Personally I don't bother to sign my packages because I never
        install them on more the four machines and never more than a few
        hours after the package was built.
        
        If I had more FreeBSD machines to deal with, I might sign my
        packages just as a best practice, but I doubt it would really do
        any good, except that the machines would only accept packages
        from the build server, and not upstream with out squawking.
        
        
        I hope this points you in a helpful way.
