Did textproc/sp freeze your system totally? At which point?

I would do:
	echo "broken" > /usr/pkgsrc/textproc/sp/.broken.ARCH.html

where .broken.ARCH.html is the approriate broken file name. And then
restart the build with
sh mk/bulk/build restart

Not sure what is causing your digest problem though.
