 It works for me on macOS 12, but:

 Fetching from a distfile is definitely preferred. The portfile says the
 reason why we didn't do that is:

 {{{#!tcl
 # use git fetch rather than downloading a snapshot tarball
 # which delivers a different checksum and size on each download
 # see https://github.com/google/gitiles/issues/84
 }}}

 However that refers to downloading an automatically-generated tarball from
 their git system. You appear to have found a source for proper release
 tarballs that should not have that problem. How did you discover these
 release tarballs? I can't find them mentioned on the project's homepage.
