For xorg-drivers you simply use:
RUN_DEPENDS= ${LOCALBASE}/libdata/xorg/drivers:${PORTSDIR}/x11-drivers/xorg-drivers
to get this to work for php5-extensions, you would need to patch the
Makefile with:
PLIST_FILES= libdata/php5/extensions
PLIST_DIR= libdata/php5
do-install:
${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/libdata/php5
${TOUCH} ${PREFIX}/libdata/php5/extensions
Then you could use:
RUN_DEPENDS= ${LOCALBASE}/libdata/php5/extensions:${PORTSDIR}/lang/php5-extensions
