I'm not surprised -- it's undocumented and potentially dangerous to do
  sudo port install $some-random-url-from-the-internet
It's just as bad as
  ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL $if-you-know-what-I-mean)"

However, I noticed this was possible when I ripped out some of the
mport:// source sync code and was asked to put it back in, especially
because it can be used to install older versions from the binaries
archives we publish on packages.macports.org.

If you run
  port notes https://neverpanic.de/documents/mpstats.tar
it'll work just fine.
