The breakage potential is easy to see.  All elements in DEPENDS are
always installed by a given port.  So, because kdelibs3 has a DEPENDS on
kdehier, make will descend into misc/kdehier, and call make install
EVERY TIME make install is called in kdelibs3.  If you already have
kdehier installed (which is the case during a package build), then the
ports system will bail out complaining that kdehier is already installed
when it does:

(cd misc/kdehier; make install)

The way this USED to work is that FORCE_PKG_REGISTER was added
to .MAKEFLAGS and DEPENDS_ARGS, and thus the above was called as:

(cd misc/kdehier; make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes)

This, of course, would not cause the error.  As I said to Mark in a
follow-up email, it may very well be time to retire DEPENDS, but the
patch that was committed did not successfully do that and maintain the
buildability of the tree.
