Comment (by ryandesign):

 There is no particularly good way for you to know in advance whether a
 binary is available or will be used. The only way that occurs to me is
 that you could check the directory listings on
 https://packages.macports.org to see if a file exists for the port name /
 version / variants / architecture / OS version you are about to install or
 upgrade.

 I guess we haven't made this easier to discover because we don't think
 there's a reason why you need to know. If you want to install or upgrade a
 port, do so, and MacPorts will use the best method available.

 If you would like to only use precompiled archives, you can use the `-b`
 flag, as in `sudo port -b upgrade`. If no archive is available, MacPorts
 will error rather than fall back to building from source. However, some
 ports never have archives available due to licensing restrictions.
