if the nzbget projects offers some kind of publically accessible source control, then yes, you can definitely do that. See the guide[1] on the fetch phase on how to fetch from version control (you probably need to set fetch.type and then depending on the type of version control some URL and revision/tag/etc). Note that it is MacPorts policy to never build off HEAD, current trunk or whatever the most recent commit is in the version control system used. This is because this would be a moving target and MacPorts wouldn't know whether it has been updated and the build would not be reproducible. If you don't care about that and don't aim for inclusion in MacPorts' tree you can safely specify HEAD, trunk, etc. at the cost of having to update using sudo port -n upgrade --force nzbget.
