The patch to ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk is straightforward:
% @@ -5849,6 +5849,9 @@ fake-pkg:
% ${CAT} /tmp/${PKGNAME}-required-by >> ${PKG_DBDIR}/${PKGNAME}/+REQUIRED_BY; \
% ${RM} -f /tmp/${PKGNAME}-required-by; \
% fi
% +.if !defined(INSTALLS_DEPENDS)
% + ${TOUCH} ${PKG_DBDIR}/${PKGNAME}/+NEVERDEINSTALL
% +.endif
% .else
% @${DO_NADA}
% .endif
I've had a look at pkgtools, but I don't know Ruby. I think this
modification is pretty easy for portupgrade's developpers.
