port info nagios-plugins

or

port deps nagios-plugins

It lists several *build* dependencies, and the ports that provide libintl and libcrypto are in the build dependency chain. But files installed by nagios-plugins actually link with those libraries, thus those libraries must be listed as library dependencies, so that MacPorts knows that users should not be allowed to uninstall those ports, and that those ports should be included in an mpkg.
