(Confirmed present in Makefile 1.147, latest version seen via cvsweb.cgi)
The GnuPG (2) port, security/gnupg, has an option CURL:
CURL_DESC= Use the real curl library (worked around if no)
OPTIONS_DEFAULT= CURL
That is misleading, and looks to be a sense inversion.
.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MCURL}
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--without-libcurl
.else
LIB_DEPENDS+= curl:${PORTSDIR}/ftp/curl
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-libcurl=${LOCALBASE}
.endif
So, if the option is set, as it is by default, then the use of curl is entirely disabled and GnuPG uses an internal stub/shim implementation which pretends to be Curl. If the option is explicitly *unset*, then libcurl is used and /usr/local/libexec/gpg2keys_hkp has rather more linkage dependencies reported by ldd(1).
>How-To-Repeat:
Build security/gnupg with and without the options set.
Use ldd(1) to examine linkage dependencies.
Use { gpg --keyserver-options verbose,debug --keyserver hkp://..../ --recv-key ... } to retrieve keys with debugging reporting showing which implementation is in use.
>Fix:
Change the ordering of the .if/.else/.endif branches when testing against ${PORT_OPTIONS:MCURL}
