I'm certainly not going out to download some 30,000 distfiles.
I've checked that "make checksum" works for me as unprivileged user on
the one port,
and I do appreciate that if one port has FETCH_DEPENDS=aaaa:bbbb:build
can hurt.

So where's the solution for you?

Are you proposing a change in that ports should not be permitted to
require the "build" stage of another port as requisite, which has been a
standard mechanism in *_DEPENDS for years?
