I'm not sure what you mean by plugins.  But maybe you mean this:

So I envision that if I start to use xz compression, and xz is not 
installed, then when you run ctm, it will issue an error like this:

"You need to install xz from the port archivers/xz."

Similarly, if you try to apply the svn deltas, you will get an error like

"You need to install subversion from the port devel/subversion."

So the errors would be run time, not compile time.
