Uh. I didn't even know they were checked at different phases!
I thought depends_build is everything you need to build, but is not 
needed afterwards. So this should be checked before configure, build and 
destroot.

I am also wondering why all dependencies are checked before the install 
phase. The Makefile or other build scripts of the software is only used 
up to destrooting. The install phase is all done by MacPorts, so there 
is no check needed anymore at this phase.
