For anyone else interested in this, I finally came up with a really
clean solution:
make WRKSRC=$(pwd) USE_GITHUB=no DISTFILES="" -C port
It assumes a really simple USE_GITHUB Makefile (e.g. below).
Here’s the example repo:
https://github.com/patmaddox/simple_port_example
Pat
PORTNAME= simple-port-example
CATEGORIES= devel
DISTVERSION= 1.0.0
DISTVERSIONPREFIX= v
MAINTAINER= pat@patmaddox.com
USE_GITHUB= yes
GH_ACCOUNT= patmaddox
GH_PROJECT= simple_port_example
.include <bsd.port.mk>
