 * If bsd.port.mk can't find the portdir, it will go on happily
 * compiling your port until it fails due to a missing dependency.
 * 
 * [This is probably a bad thing --- it should abort on a failed
 * dependency, since dependencies are, well, dependencies]

You are probably right, but I thought since some of the dependencies
are rather "soft" (especially RUN_DEPENDS), it's better to not be too
strict here.

What do people think?  It is a trivial change to bsd.port.mk to do it
the other way....
