If this is a fixed dependency, then it's a bug in the port's Makefile. If it's 
not set in stone (i.e.: mod_authnz_ldap could also work with 
mod_fictional_3rdparty_ldap), then applying the logic you suggest, would kill 
the option to use mod_fictional_3rdparty_ldap.

Set in stone would mean, "if there is a port mod_fictional_3rdparty_ldap, or 
enough people have complained that they cannot use 
mod_fictional_3rdparty_ldap, even though there's not a port for it".

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
