Comment (by mascguy):

 If you're simply trying to test a new/updated port, prior to PR
 submission, you can also workaround the issue by manually downloading the
 source archive.

 Then copy it to `${prefix}/var/macports/distfiles/port_name/`.

 Note that `port_name` may vary a bit, and is specified via `dist_subdir`.
 Most ports use the default though, which is `${name}`.
