No, that's by far not enough. Have a look at the pkg_* source.

Ask yourself
 * how "pkg_admin check" can do it's job
 * how pkg_delete can determine if a file was modified
 * where in bsd.pkg.mk the MD5 checksums are generated
 * in what form you want to use SHA1 on systems that don't come
   with openssl in-tree.
 * How to retain backward compatibility with existing binary packages
