You mean building from ports versus poudriere? Poudriere would always
select ImageMagick6 with the BUILD_DEPENDS line above, but that's fine.
Options aren't a good interface for this because the user can select an
option that conflicts with the installed version. It's not really a
port option but a system-wide option. If this needs to be configurable
for poudriere then an entry should be added to bsd.default-versions.mk.
Then the BUILD_DEPENDS line above can become:
BUILD_DEPENDS= convert:graphics/ImageMagick${IMAGEMAGICK_DEFAULT}
