Yes, it should be a separate port.  While the lines you have written are
not incorrect per se, the preferred approach would be to use the github
PortGroup to do all this (and more) for you more simply.  The equivalent
would then be

PortGroup       github 1.0

github.setup    tpaviot oce 0.15 OCE-

Look at
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/_resources/port1.0/group/github-1.0.tcl
to see how this works.
