No. That is the best way, although I (and others) would prefer if it
was:
RUN_DEPENDS= ${BUILD_DEPENDS}
for aesthetic purposes.

If you're going to uncomment it, no point in keeping it.

So you use .if defined(WANT_POSTFIX) ... .endif, and so forth for each
of the mailers, with sendmail as the default. You can use something
like this (to avoid having to make the port interactive):
.if defined(WANT_POSTFIX)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-postfix
PLIST_SUB+= POSTFIX=""
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --no-postfix
PLIST_SUB+= POSTFIX="@comment "
.endif
.if defined(WANT_QMAIL)
[...]
.else
[...]
.endif
[...]
The best thing about this method is that it doesn't look like an ugly
hack. Really. You can even add in some perl regexes to make changes as
necessary to other files. You can (albeit with some difficulty) add
patches specific to a MTA by setting them up in a [pre,post]-patch
target with the appropriate .ifdefs. It might be easier just to do
regexes. You could also do patches by default that (additionally) regex
to make specific parts of the patch ineffective (it's quite possible to
do this :-).
In any case, there's no limit. You probably won't have to make any kind
of real hacks.
