curious dependency issues

[David Strubbe]

Hm, I guess I got "depends:" from suggestions in messages on this list.
Using "port installed depof:gcr" gcr is not listed, so that is more
reasonable. "depof:gtk3" does not list gconf, and "depof:gconf" does list
gtk3. So it seems that "depends:" is buggy. Maybe it should be removed if
it has been supplanted by "depof:".
