Closing because the change is intentional, as documented in the 2.8.1 release notes.

Either set worksrcdir correctly or use extract.rename yes.

    11MacPorts 2.8.1 does not create symlink to source when {{{worksrcpath}}} is specified.

    55The problem with the latest MacPorts version is that the {{{worksrcpath}}} specified by the Portfile is created as an actual directory, not a symlink to the untarred source contents created by the {{{extract}}} phase. This will be a problem with any port that specifies {{{worksrcpath}}}—I cannot recall why I did this for {{{cabal}}} but I believe that there was a good reason. See below.
