Specify port for file dependency

[Ruben Di Battista]

Yeah, no thanks for your help. I appreciate!

What I meant is at runtime, on the command line.

How do I tell "I want to install gdl3, but using `pango-devel` to provide
libpango instead of `pango`?

I might install pango-devel manually, but that would make pango-devel a
requested port.
