Comment(by ashley.moran@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
 > After upgrading to Snow Leopard, you [wiki:Migration must uninstall and
 reinstall all ports] anyway. After that step, you will no longer have ghc
 installed (since it [ticket:20132 can't currently install on Snow
 Leopard]) so you will avoid the problem you're reporting.

 That's true, but I was lucky I didn't, or I wouldn't have been able to re-
 install darcs (which actually runs fine against the 32-bit Snowy libs).

 But I still think this would be a useful feature, for anyone that wants to
 omit a branch of the ports tree from an operation.  It's also less
 surprising behaviour - I was initially confused as to what "not depends"
 means.
