I've tried to reproduce the missing dependency problem.
Starting with www/netsurf/libutf8proc installed:
```
$ pkg_info | grep utf8proc
libutf8proc-2.4.0p0 unicode library
```
Then building neovim with Laurent's diff applied and logging the build output
disk, I see that, as intended, Laurent's updated port builds libutf8proc as a
static library:
```
...
[100%] Linking C static library libutf8proc.a
/usr/local/bin/cmake -P CMakeFiles/utf8proc.dir/cmake_clean_target.cmake
/usr/local/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/utf8proc.dir/link.txt
--verbose=1
/usr/bin/ar qc libutf8proc.a CMakeFiles/utf8proc.dir/utf8proc.c.o
/usr/bin/ranlib libutf8proc.a
[100%] Built target utf8proc
/usr/local/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_start
/usr/local/pobj/neovim-0.11.0/build-amd64/static-deps-build/utf8proc/CMakeFiles 0
mkdir -p /usr/local/pobj/neovim-0.11.0/build-amd64/static-deps-inst/lib
cp
/usr/local/pobj/neovim-0.11.0/build-amd64/static-deps-build/utf8proc/libutf8proc.a
/usr/local/pobj/neovim-0.11.0/build-amd64/static-deps-inst/lib/
...
```
And then later, when neovim is linked, the compiler invocation explicitly
provides the absolute path to the static lib (thus is cannot accidentally pick
up the shared object from /usr/local/lib):
```
...
[653/657] : && /usr/local/pobj/neovim-0.11.0/bin/cc -O2 -pipe -g ...
static-deps-inst/lib/libutf8proc.a ...
```
(humongous line elided for sanity)
`make port-lib-depends-check` also doesn't complain, so I'm pretty sure it's
not picking up libutf8proc.so.x.y from /usr/local/lib.
I then uninstalled the libutf8proc package and rebuilt neovim. All seems well.
All of that to say: I'm unable to reproduce the missing dependency issue.
