Update USE_GITHUB section

We need to look into how to handle USE_GITHUB and ports using
*github.com/*/archive/* for longterm stability. This will obviously not only
affect FreeBSD so I'm going to assume it's going to be a push from all distros
to create release assets.

I apologize if I botched the syntax, I don't know how to generate new docs
however I think I got the syntax correct otherwise feel free to submit a fixed
version and/or rephrase it.
