This seems like it would have undesirable security implications for sysadmins
operating unattended package upgrades.

I thought net/samba did, but I guess not? We have other components in base that
do, like NFS and NIS and there are a limited set of ports that do this as well:

```
% rg force_depend
x11/cde/files/dtcms.in
21:start_precmd="force_depend rpcbind || exit 1"

x11/cde/files/dtcms25.in
21:start_precmd="force_depend rpcbind || exit 1"

x11/cde-devel/files/dtcms-devel.in
21:start_precmd="force_depend rpcbind || exit 1"

x11/cde-devel/files/dtcms.in
21:start_precmd="force_depend rpcbind || exit 1"

sysutils/am-utils/files/amd.in
24:     force_depend nfsclient nfs_client || return 1
25:     force_depend rpcbind || return 1
```
