 * The package of cvsup 15.0 requires libXaw.so.6.1, but doesn't install it
 * as a dependency, although it does install the modula-3 libs.

This is true for all ports that require X.  Besides being enormous and
possible causing riots all over the world if all X ports start doing
that, the X libraries are provided not as ports but as a separate
distribution (XF86dist or some such), so it is not possible for
normal packages to depend on those anyway.
