I'd suggest figuring out what's wrong.

The error is indicating that your patch-ag file has a different checksum
that the version of the file checked into the repository. i.e. your
patch-ag file looks corrupt.

Try downloading that file from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/pkgsrc/net/rp-pppoe/patches/patch-ag

Oh, I assume you're using 1.5.3. 1.6 has pppoe in the kernel.

Take care,
