Seems we are unlucky... :(

You depend upon a lib, but the target is RUN_DEPENDS, not LIB_DEPENDS.
From bsd.port.mk:
---snip---
# RUN_DEPENDS   - A list of "path:dir[:target]" tuples of other ports this
#                                 package depends to run.  The test done to determine
#                                 the existence of the dependency is the same as
#                                 FETCH_DEPENDS.  This will be checked during the
#                                 "install" stage and the name of the dependency will
#                                 be put into the package as well.  If the third field
#                                 ("target") exists, it will be used instead of
#                                 ${DEPENDS_TARGET}.
# LIB_DEPENDS   - A list of "lib:dir[:target]" tuples of other ports this
#                                 package depends on.  "lib" is the name of a shared library.
#                                 make will use "ldconfig -r" to search for the library.
#                                 lib can contain extended regular expressions.
---snip---

As you can see RUN_DEPENDS wants a path, not a lib. I think you mixed
this with LIB_DEPENDS. The reason why we can not use LIB_DEPENDS is,
that it calls the FreeBSD ldconfig. For linux programs this is wrong.
One could argue, that we should modify LIB_DEPENDS to use the linux
ldconfig if USE_LINUX is set, but this is not the case yet, and I
haven't looked carefully at LIB_DEPENDS to make my mind up if this is a
good way to go or not (maybe it is, we could maybe detect if a linux
lib port hasn't run the linux ldconfig at all).

Bye,
Alexander.
