I think it's just an artifact of the original archive implementation.

IIRC, it's not implemented as a build phase in the same way as the  
other phases.

When I was working on remote-archive, I ended up thinking that a new  
phase (unarchive) would be the cleanest way to implement it, but never  
got around to generating a working patch.

I agree.

I think there was also some intention to have the portfile in the  
archive consulted for post-install (and uninstall) procs, but I don't  
think it was implemented.
