Try specifying the port name with its origin as well, something like
    ALT_PKGDEP = {
        'emulators/linux_base' => 'emulators/linux_base-debian',
    }

instead.

You shouldn't need to worry about port version levels, etc, as portinstall
at al. will take its cue from the presence of the origin string, in this
case, emulators.
