I think you made yourself clear. At least, what you said jived with
what the patch said. :-)
I meant that this should hopefully save us from tcl/tk ports, etc.
sticking in USE_X11 just because they "well, use X11" and then ending
up in X_PREFIX needlessly.

I think there is a PR submitted that will turn this into an error,
which is what it looks like it was intended to be (from the code), and
which it is (supposedly) documented to be.

Let's strike a deal. ;-)
I'll make no further complaints about this, on the condition that you
in exchange remove the following 5 lines:
# The following 4 lines should go away as soon as the ports are all updated
.if defined(EXEC_DEPENDS)
BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${EXEC_DEPENDS}
RUN_DEPENDS+= ${EXEC_DEPENDS}
.endif
They start on line #359 in my copy of bsd.port.mk, but my copy is a
little hacked-up with some ideas I was playing with, so the line#
might be different in the current bsd.port.mk.
Sounds like a pretty good exchange, IMHO. If I were you, I'd go for
it in a second! ;-)
