If exim or its slaves are built with WITH_EXIMON=yes, exim-monitor becomes a RUN_DEPENDS. The exim-monitor port does not depend on exim, nor on any of its slave ports. This oddness allows two important things to happen: 1) ISPs and other companies building their own custom releases can build Exim packages that include eximon simply by creating the Exim packages with WITH_EXIMON=yes defined. 2) Folks who install one of the exim slave ports can still add eximon to the system simply by adding the exim-monitor package. This follows discussions on the exim-users mailing list, which revealed that a lot of people build Exim by hand because they want an MTA, not a windowing system (eximon depends on XFree86).
