I imported the mercurial GHDL repo from sourceforge into a github account, here:

https://github.com/hanzer/GHDL

FreeBSD ports natively handle github; even if there isn't a release, any git 
hash will do. It might take a little time to get the automated synchronization 
set up (the github repo was created about an hour ago) but it might turn out to 
be a usable workaround for the lack of regular tarball releases.
