 No, there isn't. There's a 404 when trying to fetch precompiled archives.
 This is not a bug. (See #68869.) Since precompiled archives were not
 available, MacPorts tried to fetch the source, in this case from a git
 repository. It failed with this error (which is not a 404):

 I had noticed this too on my macOS 12 machine but hoped that it was just a
 transient problem, but I guess it isn't. I had worked around it
 temporarily by removing `--shallow-since=2024-03-25T00:00:00` from the
 Portfile. I guess maybe we have to remove that part permanently if
 bitbucker's git servers no longer accept this option. That results in
 fetching the entire history of the repository, however, which is large and
 takes a lot of time and disk space. Maybe there is a different flag we can
 use that would similarly limit the fetch to only what we need. Or maybe
 there is a way that we can fetch a distfile instead of fetching from the
 repo.
