I think you need to do:

 pkt->pkt.vlan_macip.f.l2_len = sizeof(struct ether_hdr);
 pkt->pkt.vlan_macip.f.l3_len = sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr);
 pkt->ol_flags |= (PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM | PKT_TX_UDP_CKSUM);
 ipv4_hdr->hdr_checksum = 0;
 udp_hdr->dgram_cksum = 0;
 udp_hdr->dgram_cksum = get_ipv4_psd_sum(ipv4_hdr); /* see csumonly.c */
