 Replying to [comment:17 ryandesign@…]:
 > I notice that /usr/lib/libnetwork.dylib links against
 /usr/lib/libpcap.A.dylib. Why isn't it considered a bug that the linker
 has decided to ignore that full path and go looking for it in the MacPorts
 directory instead? What's the point of using absolute paths for
 install_names if the linker ignores them?

 It is a bug in the linker.  That is <rdar://problem/12450551>, which I
 filed back in 2012.

 > Based on the available information, you know why you have asked to
 install it.

 The cause for the request to install or upgrade or any dependency
 information for that matter, is not available to the port during
 installation, so it's non-trivial to do what you are asking there.
