Right now there is following new repository on GitHub, and it seems to
be the copy of GitHub ports mirror before the start of migration.

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports-legacy

And ports mirror repository is updated. Current status seem to be same
as that of ports repository on cgit-beta.

I'm not sure if this is final result of the conversion.
