Comment (by ryandesign):

 Any locally-stored information would be out-of-date. A binary could have
 been produced on the build servers between the time that your local
 database was updated and the time that you asked whether a binary archive
 of a port was available. Also, there is no local database. And if one were
 to be created for this purpose, there is no server-side source of
 information from which that database could be populated.
