Because DEPEND is only needed for the actual build (src_* functions). With binary packages, all the pkg_* functions are run but DEPEND packages are not required to be installed. So anything external run in a pkg_* function must be in RDEPEND because it cannot be just in DEPEND, and those are the only two options. Does that help?
