 "Make sure there is no dependency on the port in the ports colloection"
 This is too superficial, I would suggest something like:
 
 Make sure there is no dependency on the port in the ports collection:
 * The only line in a recent INDEX file, containing port's PKGNAME should
   be port's own line.
 * No other ports should contain any references to port's directory or
   PKGNAME in their Makefiles
 
 (feel free to correct the englicsh, I hope you get the meaning)

 Testing can show the presence of bugs, but not their absence.
