I don't know about getting the md5sums, but you could just compare the whole archive without needing a separate copy on your drive.
mkfifo ~/tempfifo
tar c /backed/up/stuff >~/tempfifo &
diff /dev/st0 ~/tempfifo
. will tell you if there is any difference. Not much help if you need to know _what_ differs, admittedly.
Cheers,
