Thanks, Jeremy.
In the meantime I have found and used git-flow as an example to come up with this:
---
PortSystem          1.0
PortGroup           github 1.0

github.setup        darkrose csvdb 0.5.1
fetch.type          git

name                csvdb

categories          database
maintainers         mk pixilla openmaintainer
description         csvdb - an SQL engine for csv

platforms           darwin

use_bzip2           yes

use_autoreconf      yes

#configure.compiler  clang

depends_build-append port:git-core

depends_lib-append  port:readline\
                    port:gettext

patchfiles          patch_inc-csvdb.h.diff \
                    patch_src-lib-result.c.diff

But, unfortunately, "sudo port build" fails:
---

Funnily enough the repo had been checked out, as you can see:
---
$ ls work/csvdb-0.5.1/
CHANGES  Makefile.am  config.rpath  doc  m4   po   test-altsep.csv   test.csv
LICENSE  README       configure.ac  inc  man  src  test-unnamed.csv
---

I am just guessing that
---
:info:fetch error: pathspec '0.5.1' did not match any file(s) known to git.
---
means that there is no tag associated with this specifier (which is indeed the case), so that I can't use this approach.
I'd need to pass on the exact changeset to githug portgroup, but I guess its not designed for that.
Right?

Greets,
