I've witnessed this problem in distcc and libofa, both of which use  
the default googlecode livecheck.regex.

I think the problematic line in port1.0/portlivecheck.tcl is:

set livecheck.regex [list "<a href=\"http://[quotemeta $ 
{livecheck.name}].googlecode.com/files/[quotemeta $ 
{livecheck.distname}]\""]

In particular: [quotemeta ${livecheck.distname}]

quotemeta is backslashing the (.*) so you get something like:

distcc\-\(\.\*\)\.tar\.bz2
