That seems reasonable... but a program that uses say ImageMagick at runtime might check at build time that ImageMagick is present, which would require the following dependencies:

depends_build port:ImageMagick
depends_run   port:ImageMagick

And for some time we've taken the view that a dependency specified in depends_build and depends_run should instead be in depends_lib. Perhaps we should not have been doing this.
