I'm certainly not going out to download some 30,000 distfiles. I've checked that "make checksum" works for me as unprivileged user on the one port, and I do appreciate that if one port has FETCH_DEPENDS=aaaa:bbbb:build can hurt.
So where's the solution for you? Are you proposing a change in that ports should not be permitted to require the "build" stage of another port as requisite, which has been a standard mechanism in *_DEPENDS for years?
