Except for system and X11 libraries, they all must be reachable through LIB_DEPENDS and RUN_DEPENDS, directly, or indirectly through recursive dependencies. Conversely, the ports tree uses WANTLIB to check whether a given LIB_DEPENDS will be required at runtime for shared libraries, and thus turn it into a @depend line (see pkg_create(1)) . ...
