You can check if it's a proper link by seeing if it is actually using those symbols (nm -m <binary you want to check> | grep <name of library without version or .dylib>) on an clean install using a recent-ish base (2.2 branch or trunk from the past couple months).

After installing MacPorts trunk or 2.2.0 beta or RC, rebuild all ports in the recursive dependency chain in the correct order. Since the correct order is not always easy to determine, I simply uninstalled and rebuilt all ports to be sure.

No, they definitely are not. The buildbot runs MacPorts 2.1.x.
