I think that happens because you set `buildfromsource never' in macports.conf.
See [1]. [global_option_isset ports_binary_only] evaluates as true and the list
of dependency types to install always is "depends_lib depends_run".


The code that checks whether archives can be used should override
  `buildfromsource never'
and warn if it is set. Does anybody remember where the code that checks that is?
Is it src/package1.0/portarchivefetch.tcl, proc portarchivefetch::filter_sites?
