You don't need this variable, everything should work without it. But as
I cannot repeat your problem on 1.6.2 I wondered wether you had
set this variable which changes the directory where the packages are
built.

There's always a package you need which is not available in binary form
and then the build from source comes in handy.

Did you update pkgsrc selectively (which is not supported) instead of a
complete update of /usr/pkgsrc/? Did you "make clean" in
security/p5-Digest-MD5?  If nothing else helps I suggest to start with
a fresh copy of pkgsrc.
