The link the ardour project provides points always to the current version only.
The reason why you can't just take a release (tagged version) from github is
more complicated. I hope, I explain it correctly: 
The C++ file 'revision.cc' is not checked in on the git server but is created
on the fly by the used build system (waf) with the help of git.
This works perfect if actually work on a cloned repository and build ardour. 
However this would also mean that you need to have the complete '.git' folder
available. For a freebsd port this would mean to include the entire .git to the
pkg-plist file, which is certainly not desired to have.
There is this 'release' mechanism in github which builds a tar ball. This
however doesn't support this particular version feature.
