 In commit [d7fd082d9e3ccc0a1366b3ad15ea8a7c832c9ed4/macports-ports], wget
 suddenly requires lzip instead of xz:
 -use_xz                  yes
 +use_lzip                yes

 This requirement triggers installation of lzip, which doesn't offer any
 advantage over xz (while xz is usually already installed since plenty of
 other stuff requires it).
 It appears (and it's easy to check, even while browsing macports tickets)
 that about nobody except its own author uses lzip (also author of
 ddrescue, which explains why ddrescue is lzip compressed).
 I suggest to revert to an xz compressed archive to avoid installing
 useless additional stuff.
