Perhaps that should read "... dependency updates, *as* if there is no directory for it in..."? Otherwise that=20 bit of text effectively says that +IGNOREME has no effect for ports that either exist currently in the ports tree, or that used to and that have a= n entry in MOVED. Which would make +IGNOREME pretty useless most of the time.
