Comment (by ryandesign):

 www.macports.org is configured to require https traffic.
 distfiles.macports.org and packages.macports.org aren't, so that old
 systems can connect to them.

 Tested today, Safari on Leopard can connect to our web site and other
 servers. Safari on Tiger presents an invalid certificate message, but it
 you bypass it, it works. It didn't used to be that way; you used to need
 TenFourTox on Tiger at least and maybe on Leopard, I don't remember. I
 think the Let's Encrypt certificates we're using now work better on older
 systems than the GlobalSign certificate we used to use.
