Comment (by ryandesign):

 optool is an example of a port that will fail to extract if this change is
 made. optool uses a post-extract block to move things around inside
 worksrcdir. The problem seems to be that MacPorts base does not create the
 worksrcdir symlink until after the extract phase is done, but optool and
 other such ports need the symlink to exist before their post-extract
 phases run. Maybe MacPorts base can be improved to create the symlink
 earlier.
