Is that really necessary?  i.e. does it buy a significant improvement
over using the explicit BUILD_DEPENDS in the relative few ports that
use it?

I'm becoming concerned at the proliferation of variables being added
to b.p.m - the trend towards macro'izing every conceivable shell
command used by ports is another one I'm uncomfortable with (why?).
