I get that. So let's assume that all of those are installed, and up to
date, but pkgconf is not on the system. What happens when the user tries
to build glightoff?

Or put another way, if pkgconf is necessary for this port, what harm
will adding a build dep for it cause?

To the extent that I understand that, he was not saying "don't fix ports
that need a pkgconf build dep" he was saying that because glib20 and
xproto have (bogus) run deps on pkgconf _now_ they mask the true number
of ports that need the build dep.

When the bogus run dep is gone we want all of the ports that need a
build dep to have it.
