It certainly should have worked, yes. Are you using the latest
portmaster?
$ pkg info -xo portmaster
portmaster-3.13.13: ports-mgmt/portmaster
$
with pkgng patch
And can you tgz and send me your /var/db/pkg directory?

'portmaster -y --check-depends' is the right answer here. The run
dependency on pkg-config has always been bogus, it's just that we're
only now working on fixing it.
Same thing:
http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/depends
Note there are also lots of dependencies on perl5.14,
even though I did portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.14
at the time (/usr/ports/UPDATING from 20120630).
In case it matters, these particular outputs are
from r237134 ia64. However, I get similar results
on amd64 -current too.
Many thanks for looking into this.
Anton
