Github support is using _GITHUB_EXTRACT_SUFX (see bsd.sites.mk line
450):

  _GITHUB_REV=    0
  _GITHUB_EXTRACT_SUFX=   .tar.gz

So this can't be overridden on purpose.

Are you sure you need a new wxWidgets port though? Won't
x11-toolkits/wxgtk31 be sufficient (see also:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/using-wx.html
)
