Yes, I do not have to install BUILD_DEPENDS on a desktop after the
liberation-fonts-ttf package has been built, but that is missing

built to be able to use them to build liberation-fonts-ttf. They are also
part of the package repository afterwards. :-(

How would this be different than just setting MASTER_SITES and be
done with it?

I'm attaching the patch I have in my ports tree fork now.
