This is an interesting issue from the tools perspective, as you pointed
out. In order to properly support the recent Xorg update I split
installation of the build dependencies and run dependencies, but for some
reason I am still doing the install of the master port after checking the
run dependencies.
I'm working on some bug fix/regression testing stuff in portmaster now, so
I'll make the change to do run depends after install of the master port
and see if it breaks anything.
I certainly don't see what would be wrong with the dependencies that you
describe, and if it's "legal" as you put it, portmaster should support it.
