Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [ticket:14540 ryandesign@…]:
 >  * ports that depend on ports where both -devel and non-devel versions
 exist should depend on them in such a way that either port will satisfy
 the dependency. For example, instead of depending on "`port:mysql5`"
 (mysql5 would satisfy that dependency but mysql5-devel would not), depend
 on "`path:${prefix}/bin/mysql_config5`" (both mysql5 and mysql5-devel
 would satisfy that dependency).

 There were two bugs in the above: the correct dependency statement would
 be "`path:bin/mysql_config5:mysql5`"
