Just as another side note, I made some changes to 'port deps' in trunk. 
If you use the -v flag it will print the real dependency as specified in 
the Portfile.

--snip--

$ port -v deps libiconv
libiconv has build dependencies on:
         bin:gperf:gperf

--snap--

Of course, only helpful for people running trunk at the moment.
