Sorry if this is some old debate / unfinished feature, but it just occured to me that some port dependencies are actually only relevent at compile time, not afterwards. For example, I was just clearing away an old imake, and was warned that half a bazillion packages needed it. However, it was clear they they only needed it to _build_, not to run. I have a feeling that this same problem applies to a decent number of other packages. Do the ports makefiles have any provision for creating compile-only dependencies?
