With GH_COMMIT= hash, GH_TAGNAME=${GH_COMMIT}

You can't, but you just use what USE_GITHUB is doing anyway, which is a 
fetch
of github's tarball URL.

Ie: 
http://codeload.github.com/freebsd/portmaster/legacy.tar.gz/7359019?dummy=/g-freebsd-portmaster-3.17.2-7359019.tar.gz

It downloads known hash 7359019, saves file as 
g-freebsd-portmaster-3.17.2-7359019.tar.gz.

The port becomes a "snapshot" port. You update it occasionally with 
latest update. You can use
YYYYMMDD as the PORTVERSION if upstream has no tags.

I can expand on this more if needed.
