multimedia/ffmpeg will optionally include ports providing libraries. There
does not seem any implemented in an interpreted language, though I vaguely
remember one option pulling in ruby (probably by transition).

The idea is that you can depend on a specific file and the port that
provides it with the syntax: file_to_depend_on:providing_port.

I hope that helps.
