It seems to me that the DEPENDS variable is obsolete - thesedays it
can be replaced more usefully and correctly by the other *_DEPENDS
variables.  It's still in use by a handful of ports:

./x11/kdelibs3/Makefile:DEPENDS=        ${PORTSDIR}/misc/kdehier
./audio/klira/Makefile:DEPENDS= ${PORTSDIR}/misc/kdehier
./www/caudium12/Makefile:DEPENDS=       ${PORTSDIR}/lang/pexts/
./lang/pm3-forms/Makefile:DEPENDS=      ${PORTSDIR}/lang/pm3-base:configure
./lang/pm3-gui/Makefile:DEPENDS=        ${PORTSDIR}/lang/pm3-base:configure
./lang/pm3-net/Makefile:DEPENDS=        ${PORTSDIR}/lang/pm3-base:configure
./lang/pm3-m3tk/Makefile:DEPENDS=       ${PORTSDIR}/lang/pm3-base:configure
./lang/pm3-netobj/Makefile:DEPENDS=     ${PORTSDIR}/lang/pm3-base:configure
./print/virtualpaper/Makefile:DEPENDS=  ${PORTSDIR}/lang/pm3-base:configure

Is it actually necessary, or can it be removed?

Kris
