* The package of cvsup 15.0 requires libXaw.so.6.1, but doesn't install it * as a dependency, although it does install the modula-3 libs. This is true for all ports that require X. Besides being enormous and possible causing riots all over the world if all X ports start doing that, the X libraries are provided not as ports but as a separate distribution (XF86dist or some such), so it is not possible for normal packages to depend on those anyway.
