​Shouldn't this be split into two, then?

​FETCH_DEPENDS+=
${NONEXISTENT}:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql${MYSQL_VER}-server:fetch

BUILD_DEPENDS+=
${NONEXISTENT}:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql${MYSQL_VER}-server:build

​That way, only the fetch target is run on the mysql-server port when
running the fetch target on the mysql-q4m port.  And the build target is
run on the mysql-server port when the build target is run on the mysql-q4m
port.

Or is there no :fetch support in the _DEPENDS framework?​
