Okay, so pkg is not an option here.

I think this is a good idea. The port maintainer should differentiate
more precisely between B-Deps and R-Deps, and when dependencies aren't
needed for actually running the program, they shouldn't be there in
the first place. Selectable port options are a comfortable way to deal
with this problem.
