Just for the record, fetch(1) is the tool most commonly used to retrieve
the source package for ports(7)
I performed the following:
# fetch https://hub.darcs.net/raichoo/hikari/dist
fetch: https://hub.darcs.net/raichoo/hikari/dist: size of remote file is not known
dist                                                    90 kB  951 kBps 00m00s

# tar tvf ./dist

So I would say that creating a port for the FreeBSD ports(3) tree would
be relatively easy. :)
If you're interested in creating one, and find you need any help. I would
be willing to provide assistance. I'd create it myself, but I'm already
at ~150 ports now. Which I feel is pretty much my limit at this time. :)
