i'm not completely sure i've understood how this works. please, put some 
light on these two cases:
- i install port A, which depends on B and C (both run dependencies); B 
depends on C (build dependency). B is installed first: then, is C installed 
from a package or from the port? according to you, it should be installed from 
the port (i'm sorry, i wasn't able to test this), and that would be the 
correct behaviour
- i install explicitly port A and B; A depends on B (build dependency). B is 
installed first: is it installed from a package? that's what i'm seeing (try 
to install devel/gmake along with a port which requires it), and i don't think 
this is the correct behaviour

it's still building, then i don't know if the second case above (gmake's case) 
will work correctly

thank you so much for working on this! now portmaster has... just... 
everything! i'll give my contribution as soon as possible!
