Comment (by tomio-arisaka):

 For example, Ghostscript cannot be built with MacPorts on both High-Sierra
 and Tiger.

 On macOS High Sierra, "/usr/bin/curl" cannot download particular files due
 to the expired certificate.

 curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
 More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

 curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
  of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
  bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
  using the --cacert option.
 If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
  the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
  problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
  not match the domain name in the URL).
 If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
  the -k (or --insecure) option.
 HTTPS-proxy has similar options --proxy-cacert and --proxy-insecure.

 On Mac OS X Tiger PPC, "/usr/bin/curl" cannot download any files with SSL
 due to the old version of curl.

 My simple resolution is to add fetch phase in order to use the latest
 version of curl:



 {{{
 if {${os.major} < 18} {
     depends_build-append    port:curl

     fetch {
         if { [file isfile "${distpath}/ghostscript-fonts-
 other-6.0.tar.gz"] == 0 } then {
             system -W ${distpath} "curl -LOR
 https://sourceforge.net/projects/gs-fonts/files/gs-
 fonts/6.0%20%28misc%2C%20AFPL%29/ghostscript-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz"
         }
         ...
         ...
     }
 }
 }}}
