the 13 GB of data? Would this be a problem for the FreeBSD build cluster
infrastructure to create the packages?, ...)
A git clone contains the complete development *history*. If a try to fetch a packet from
their homepage it is "just" around 850 MB which should not be a problem.

I'm not aware of such a way. But since there is a Git-Repo: isn't there a
management tool like GitLab, which could provides tarballs? At least it is
possible to set one up, clone the repo and provide it this way.
There's also the --depth option to git clone that can help limit the size of
the resulting checkout.
--depth <depth>
Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified
number of commits. Implies --single-branch unless
--no-single-branch is given to fetch the histories near the tips of
all branches.
Yes, but i doubt this could be a solution. The ports ship a distinfo
file, which contains size and checksum of the distfiles for the port.
This is not possible with a pure git.
But since this is open source: in the worst case we can create the
distfiles by ourself and host them. I don't see this as stopper.
