 only if the resulting serf links against those libraries

 an alternative would be to fix serf to not link against libraries it
 doesn't need.

 A patch to base to do this would be nice, but I would guess that many
 people would say that even if port could auto-detect these kinds of
 dependencies, they should still be declared in the portfile.
