Maybe I can convince MacPorts developers to change where they fetch their
own sources?
I'm not sure if it indeed is so -- but the last sentence seems to suggest
to me that MacPorts still fetches GS source tarball from SourceForge.
The primary source is listed here: http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/
Which points to:
https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/
