I did this.  The revbump was required because (for people who had ffmpeg 
installed when they built the port) the existing binary was linked with 
the previous version of ffmpeg which is not ABI compatible with the 
current version.

Adding the dependency on ffmpeg was to ensure that all copies of 
nepomuk-core build the same.  Since ffmpeg is an optional build 
dependency, nepomuk-core will use it if it is available or not if not, 
resulting in inconsistent builds.  If it is desired to build 
nepomuk-core without ffmpeg support by default then removing the 
dependency is not sufficient - the ffmpeg build option needs to be 
disabled explicitly.
