It is not. If your port has few little source files, you can create files/ subdirectory,
put files there, refer them like ${FILESDIR}/source.sh in port's Makefile and use:

MASTER_SITES= # none

For example, we have net/tcpmssd, math/octave-forge-base and even ports-mgmt/portlint itself
being this kind of ports.
