Documentation is available at <https://trac.macports.org/wiki/TracLinks>.

I find the easiest way to link to a commit is [committish/repo], e.g. 
[42a4d67a/macports-ports]. Apparently you need at least 8 characters of 
the hash, which is slightly annoying since GitHub shows only 7 
characters in many places.
