I'm trying to say that's it's a bad practice to prefer base system
dependencies for the ports software. By nature, the ports are the
rolling release of software where we have the most recent versions of
software. Isn't it sane to prefer dependencies on the software
installed from the ports as well? This would also allow to upgrade
software easily (including security fixes, for example). I'm merely
thinking about users experiences here.
