How is the ports supposed to fulfil this dependency if it is found to be missing? You'ld either have to fail on a missing base package or rely on pkg(8) to install it -- the latter seems pretty reasonable, but that behaviour is quite an important change to the ports overall behaviour. It gets even more complicated if you need to depend on specific versions of a base package. I think having an attempt to install a port result in triggering an update to a new version of the base system would probably not go down too well. It's an interesting question though. If we're going to record explicit dependencies against the base system in packages, we'd absolutely need the whole variable version number dependency thing that was discussed earlier. You wouldn't want to be forced to recompile / reinstall everything binary if there's any update to the package containing libc, and that shouldn't be necessary in any case due to the forwards compatibility guarantee on libc's ABI.
