When you create a package of a port, is there a means by which to also 
create the dependencies into packages ... for distribution.

For example, the amavisd-new port has several dependencies (archivers) 
that must also be present in the system, is there an efficient way to 
accomplish this in the packaging structure.


Thanks.
