If you look at gather_archives.sh in the MPAB dir, it runs this:
<https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/portmgr/jobs/port_binary_distributable.tcl>

If a port is not distributable, a reason is shown in the stdio of the
"gather distributable archives" build step. You can reproduce this
manually by running:

./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v ${portname}
