Slight problem with make actual-package-depends with ports

I appreciate that most people won't have this problem, but it has bitten me.

After you have made and installed a port, but don't clean it, and then 
made a bunch of other ports, if you go back to the original port and 
then do "make package", then +CONTENTS can be a bit messed up for the 
package.  This is because the creation of other ports might disturb 
_LIB_RUN_DEPENDS and might put in some extra entries in +CONTENTS.

This happens to me because I make all my ports on one machine and then 
copy them as packages to other machines.  Then on the other machines, 
the structure of /var/db/pkg gets a bit messed up and pkg_delete -r 
malfunctions.

It seems to me that the cure is to slightly change "make 
actual-package-depends" so that if the port is already installed, it 
just uses +CONTENTS.

I enclose a patch.  Unless I get a bunch of negative comments, I'll 
submit this as a PR as well.
