You can and should use the github portgroup for projects hosted at github. If the project uses submodules then you cannot use the pre-generated .tar.gz files, but you can change it to fetch from git (like you already do) and add the post-extract block to fetch the submodules (like you already do). This is mentioned at the end of the documentation in the comments in the github portgroup file:


# Some projects' tag- or commit-based distfiles will not contain all the
# necessary files, if the project uses git submodules. If available, use a
# distfile from "releases" or "downloads" instead, as described above. If the
# project does not provide those, encourage the project's developers to provide
# releases. Until they do, fetch from git instead of from a distfile, and add a
# post-fetch block to fetch the submodules:
#
#   fetch.type          git
#
#   post-fetch {
#       system -W ${worksrcpath} "git submodule update --init"
#   }
