Are you saying it would be > sufficient to add 'dbi:${PORTSDIR}/databases/libdbi' to LIB_DEPENDS? Hm, it looks like there's no apropriate logic to get libdbi/dbi-drivers to do what you want. In that case, maybe you could set additionally RUN_DEPENDS. I think there'll still be a way by installing from packages that will lead to missing dependencies, though. Maybe if dbi-drivers were to use several slave-ports, we'd have a solution... I'm cc:ing the dbi (seanc@) and dbi-drivers (delphij@) guys for comments.
