This is down to a deficiency in pkg(8) -- it can't handle having a
number of alternate packages or ranges of different package versions to

exactly the dependency package and version used at compilation time.

This feels a lot like what I was just asking about, as well. Are there plans for this dependency to be addressed in the future? My brief combing of the wiki didn't find any kind of a roadmap or anything like that.
