I two ports share the same code base, but install different files, then a 
metaport or similar could be clever. See for example 
databases/postgresql83-(server|client). The postgresql83-server depends on 
the client. The client can installed without the server. Similar to 
OpenAFS, hence. Now, they have the same source tarball, so the -client port 
just sets a few parameters and then uses the postgresql83-server port as a 
master Makefile.

Works almost exactly the same as described for postgresql. :-)
