I'm not sure removing the dependency on any linux_base is the right thing to do. Additionally I think we shouldn't support more than one linux_base. It's fine if it works with more than one linux_base, but we can't guarantee it. My suggestion is: let it depend upon the default linux_base by default (my patchset takes care of this). After 4.11 is out the door, let's update the default linux_base to a recent one, remove all obsolete/outdated/forbidden linux_base ports, get everything into good shape and think about how to allow non-default linux_base ports to work with everything (e.g. a patch for bsd.port.mk which modifies the USE_LINUX code to use an already installed linux_base (with a warning that we don't guarantee anything) or to install a predefined one, like we did with the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM part of bsd.port.mk).
