In theory, yes. In practice, make config-recursive (which is what you'd use) 
takes all-depends-list as input and as such suffers from the same flaw:

config-recursive -> all-depends-list
                       entry => config-conditional
                                     make config
                                          new dep not in list

I found it easier to use this, especially when building multiple ports from a 
list of origins, rather then waking up to an options screen.
