Explicit dependencies would be great, if they can be guaranteed to be correct, which basically means we need a way auto-generate them. Maybe this could be done in a similar way to the security check target - run ldd/objdump over installed executables and libraries, record symbol names somewhere, determine dependencies by comparing records ... Explicit dependencies that need to be determined and maintained manually by port maintainers are useless, since they'll be almost guaranteed to be wrong most of the time for those ports that would profit the most (shave off the most implicit dependencies) from having them.
