I understand this. In this case, audio/lame only had one dependency
(cmake) which I could install using "pkg" first. However, if it has
multiple dependencies that require non-default options, you would
certainly need more than one port checked out. Hunting that down can be
kind of a pain so I just tossed the whole tree in there.
