    Yuck. I don't want to have to install _two_ packages for a library to be
    able to build software with it. If I wanted that, I'd use Linux.
    ...
    Well, maybe not.

    Perhaps a port Makefile hook, a la NOPORTDOCS, could be used? Of course,
    the snag there is deciding which camp to please insofar as default
    settings are concerned. It'd be cool if you could put your decision in
    /etc/make.conf and have it global, so you can just forget about it and
    live your life as you want. =)
