That all I know - Ive been using ports and only ports since early 2000's. So 
the problem is that I made a dry run from ports, linking only to stuff that 
I wanted on the final package receiver. Then I copied the list of ports over 
to poudriere using portversion -oQ. When I started the run, there was 
suddenly every single dependency I previously dropped brought in. (I know 
about automake, autoconf and similar build dependencies.)

I guess one option would be blacklisting in poudriere those unneeded 
dependencies which shouldn't be linked with my packages, if my options are 
honoured by poudriere.
