If a comparable announcement to this was made for MacPorts, I missed it:

We never made any announcement since it basically "worked from day 1"
(almost), and we never had any specific point in time when support for
M1 was significantly improved. (We probably needed an upgrade of
MacPorts base, but that happened very soon.)
We should probably be publicising that MacPorts works just fine with
M1 more aggressively from the very beginning.
Ironically, MacPorts is claimed to have "initial or beta support" for
Apple silicon on https://isapplesiliconready.com/ (top search result for
"is m1 ready" on Google), while Homebrew is "fully compatible".
If anyone is willing to volunteer to do PR for MacPorts ...
