Hmm, I believe "abusing" FOO_DEPENDS is pretty bad practice to follow
without sufficiently compelling reason.  In this case, what prevents you
properly listing them as BUILD_DEPENDS?  For users building from ports
it would not make a difference, but packages will have sane dependencies,
no (unless I'm missing something)?
