I think this "archive" thing is part of the new layout they rolled out a few months ago:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36862

I did not investigate switching to this layout because the old way seemed to still work, and this would mean changing every port since checksums change.

I have no idea what the github servers do behind the servers w.r.t. dynamically generating tarballs or not.
