It is enough for pkg_add to check the version of each dependency and issue 
warnings/errors upon mismatch. There is no breakage here -- it should not be 
chasing library versions.

For a long time that would be be broken, if a dependency's version installed 
(and thus used for building the package) was different from the latest 
available in the dependency's port, because that latter version was recorded 
in the package instead of the former.

But for a few years already the bsd.port.mk is smart enough to record the 
installed versions properly (although difference in build-time options may 
still cause breakage). In fact, I remember having something to do about the 
changeover :)
