All you have to use exists() to check on lib/libquicktime/lqt_lame.so.

Is it allows to enable lame support by default in ports tree, but disable  
only on package (PACKAGE_BUILDING)? Of course, you will have to add  
something to not build package for openmovieeditor too to avoid get error  
 from tinderbox.

Maybe you should make a request to the openmovieeditor team to see if they  
can make lame to optional? Explain them about that it has license  
restrictions in lame.

Oh hey ahze! ;-)
