Ok thank for those replies.

I'm currently porting Mandriva Directory Server (http://mds.mandriva.org)

In source tree there are tow packages :
- mmc-core which provides a daemon tool (mmc-agent) written in python and
a web interface written in php.
- mds  which provides some plugins (mail, samba, squid ...) for both
the agent and the interface.

You can install the agent on a machine and the web ui in an other.
You can also have several agents connected to the same web-ui

As usual linux distros spilt it in many packages.

So I think I will do it this way :

mmc-agent -> install the agent
mmc-web  -> install the web interface

mds-agent -> install the base plugin and some optionnal depend on mmc-agent
mds-web  -> depend on mds-web

The problem I have is that it also provides :
- a plugin for openldap that won't work if openldap is not build with ppolicy
- a plugin for manage openssh ldap public key (that only will run if
security/openssh-portable is compiled with the lpk-patch

As it run depend I can just send a warning in pkg-message.

It also means that I will have 4 ports for only 2 tarballs.
