I have here
---
portarchivetype     tgz
---

but that's probably not so much the point…

Looks like this setting is the culprit in my case:
---
# Create and use binary archive packages for installation/reinstallation ease
portarchivemode     no
---

Hmmm, this is not even documented in macports.conf's man page…

Greets,
Marko
