Comment (by ryandesign):

 That's not fetching source; that's fetching a binary.

 The gdb port specifies that it only supports the i386 and x86_64
 architectures, therefore on your arm64 machine it will install the x86_64
 version. However, this was
 [changeset:8f12da77d1cc9ed66c4261cf68ff60af4118e14c/macports-ports
 specified in the port 11 years ago] with the intention of excluding
 PowerPC machines, not excluding Apple Silicon machines which did not exist
 at the time. You could try adding `arm64` to the Portfile's
 `supported_archs` line and see if it builds successfully and works. If so,
 you can submit a pull request for that change. The port has no maintainer;
 anybody can volunteer to fix it.
