I like the idea of a new irc/znc-buildmod port that simply adds the
cmake run-time dependency. This would be like a pseudo-subpackage. It
might be a little strange to create a package that just pulls in a
dependency, but it would be simplest to continue to install
${PREFIX}/bin/znc-buildmod with irc/znc.

We could actually do the same for the perl and python options as
well. We would get a lean znc package and users who want buildmod, perl,
and python module support would just have do a `pkg install` rather than
mess with knobs and build their own packages.

Of course, a simple alternative (for porters, but not users) is to just
add a BUILDMOD knob to irc/znc that adds the cmake run-time dependency.
