Comment (by RobK88):

 @Ryan -- Sorry for the delay.  I prefer the original ntpstat written in C
 since it runs as expected in all shells (unlike the newer ntpstat which is
 not fully POSIX shell (sh) compatible).

 It looks the original author's site is now more (but can still be seen via
 the internet archive as you discovered).  One can either obtain the source
 from Internet Archive, Debian or the Darkhelmet github site.  (The Debian
 packaging file shows the Darkhelmet Github site as the homepage.  See
 http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/ntpstat/ntpstat_0.0.0.1-2.dsc).

 As a result, I believe it is best that Macports download the source from
 the Darkhelmet Github site.  The initial commit is identical to the the
 source found on the Internet Archive.  So I propose we use the initial
 commit.

 Attached please find an updated ZIP file containing the portfile and
 needed patch files.

 The portfile has been updated to use git.  I also deleted the LICENSE.txt
 file.  I also used version 0.2 as the version number which appears to be
 the right version number as you pointed out earlier.
