It seems as if BUILD_DEPENDS should be _sufficient_ unless the
dependency is needed to install the package as well as to install
the port, but it demands more than is _necessary_ since the
dependency is not needed to simply build (without also installing).
That said, I'm finding it hard to imagine a situation in which
something fancy is needed just to _install_ a port or package. I'd
expect installation to require nothing more complicated than copying
files from the build tree into the appropriate subdirector{y,ies} of
/usr/local/ and perhaps creating dedicated user identities. More
detail of the situation might help.
