bsd.port.mk doesn't ignore dependencies that it defines.  It's just that the
list that it compiles for a package is based on the RUN_DEPENDS, and
LIB_DEPENDS that a port/package might need in order to run.

USE_LIBTOOL defines the libtool dependency as a BUILD_DEPENDS, thus it
doesn't get included in a packages list of dependencies.
