For things on github you can do this which generates the right paths/
filenames for the on-the-fly generated archives:
GH_ACCOUNT= apache
GH_PROJECT= guacamole-server
GH_COMMIT= 45a0cd943b0106320de2f7eb6a3cccf1f5b53485
DISTNAME= guacamole-server-1.2.0pre20200625
This is probably about the best you'll get from ports.
