Ok, that's a valid point.

Yeah, so the same logic but with a variant, preventing binary archives to be
fetched pinentry-mac is not selected. Sure thing, will do.

What this logic does is simulate a bin/lib:-style dependency with more
constraints. bin:pinentry:pinentry-mac probably does the same, if I'm not
totally mistaken, but I don't like that, as pinentry-mac doesn't actually
install a pinentry program in any bin path.
I also need to know which port has been selected as a dependency for the
configure flag.

The configure flag is merely hardcoding the path to pinentry as the default to
look for. Users can and SHOULD[RFC] always override this via
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf to make sure they get what they want. It's not critical.
