No, dependency management is done in two ways: 1. It's up to the port maintainer. If you don't like the port due to dependency requirements, you are more than welcome to spin your own. 2. It's done simply by the ./configure script. Usually, configure scripts check for existing dependencies before generating the build files that will include them. Therefore, you need to be somewhat mindful of the order in which you install your software. All that said, if the dependency is required by the # Depends on: line in the Pkgfile, then the only way to escape it is option #1. Hope this helps, Ryan

Or use the prt-get --ignore= option to omit some dependency.
