I don't think so. Looking at src/libstore/build.cc line 1654 I can't see
any additional option check.

You can edit the nix file and comment out the line md5sum="value".
Those checksums shouldn't change.
You can also try downloading the file again.
I think you can just use nix-prefetch-url .. to do this. (If in doubt delete
the source file first)
