A port can have six different dependency types (extract, patch, fetch, build, run, lib). Of these, lib is a subset of run and only run dependencies are listed in the package information. Most of the root and leaf ports you list fairly clearly fall into one of the non-run dependencies: eg nasm is only needed to compile some assembler in one of the other ports, bison is only needed to compile some grammar files. The ones I don't recognize as falling into this category are libassuan, gnupg-devel, libdts and teTeX-base. Someone else may be able to expain these. -- Peter Jeremy
