LIB_DEPENDS is similarly incomplete in the current version of this
port. Dependency on libdbi was only ever expressed indirectly by
BUILD_DEPENDS on the various backend drivers in libdbi-drivers. For
example, if the user selected 'MySQL' as the DB backend for refdb, the
Makefile adds the following:
USE_MYSQL= yes
# If libdbi-drivers has been built without MySQL driver, abort
.if exists(${LOCALBASE}/lib/dbd) && !exists(${LOCALBASE}/lib/dbd/libmysql.so)
IGNORE= Rebuild databases/libdbi-drivers with MySQL support
.elif !exists(${LOCALBASE}/lib/dbd)
BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${LOCALBASE}/lib/dbd:${PORTSDIR}/databases/libdbi-drivers
.endif
The .if is true if libdbi exists, but libmysql.so was never installed.
There's no way to automate the consequence, as libdbi-drivers uses
OPTIONS in its Makefile, and so we can't force libmysql.so to be
built. The .elif is true if libdbi was never built, in which case we
make database/libdbi-drivers a BUILD_DEPENDS, and rely on the user to
select the right backend.

I don't see an easy fix either, and I think even the approach for the
existing port is a bit of a mess. Are you saying it would be
sufficient to add 'dbi:${PORTSDIR}/databases/libdbi' to LIB_DEPENDS?
