Not sure I get you right here. Are you saying we should forbid for a port in 
category a to depend on a port in category b? That doesn't seem to make much 
sense.

I'd say it depends on the application and why the dependency is needed. FWIW, 
the fact that INDEX building with incomplete portstrees is not supported 
stands. Now that the cvsup-supplied indices are gone, more people will become 
aware of that fact (or the fetchindex target :), that's all.
