Is there an equivalent of NO_EXTRACT?

No need to write your own extract: step. EXTRACT_ONLY will do what you
need. A quote from the Porter's handbook:

5.4.6. EXTRACT_ONLY

If only some of the DISTFILES must be extracted—for example, one of
them is the source code, while another is an uncompressed
document—list the filenames that must be extracted in EXTRACT_ONLY.

DISTFILES= source.tar.gz manual.html
EXTRACT_ONLY= source.tar.gz

When none of the DISTFILES need to be uncompressed, set EXTRACT_ONLY
to the empty string.

EXTRACT_ONLY=


Hope that clears it up for you.
