Well I just tried it here and it seems to be working. With MacPorts
installed in /opt/mptest and this in archive_sites.conf:

name                    test
urls                    file:///tmp/
prefix                  /opt/mptest
applications_dir        /opt/mptest/Applications

Fetching an archive attempts to use the configured URL:

% sudo /opt/mptest/bin/port -b archivefetch paq8
--->  Fetching archive for paq8
--->  Attempting to fetch paq8-8p_1.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2 from
file:///tmp/paq8
Error: Failed to archivefetch paq8: version @8p_1: Couldn't open file
/tmp/paq8/paq8-8p_1.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2

We'd probably need to see your exact config to work out what's wrong.
