I have looked into making the registration and package-building process 
even faster.  It seems to me that the easiest way would be to redesign 
the package database so that it also includes a 
package-name/+DEPENDENCIES file, which would be a kind of reverse of 
package-name/+REQUIRED_BY.  This could be used instead of "make 
package-depends" in creating PKG_ARGS in bsd.port.mk.  Creating 
+DEPENDENCIES would be very easy - you "cat" together the files of the 
immediate dependencies ${RUN_LIB_DEPENDS} and do a "uniq" to the final 
result.
