  The only problem is that you have to maintain ebuilds in an overlay
and run "repoman manifest" every time you create or edit a meta package.
Here's an off-the-wall idea to combine the best of both worlds...

* create virtual/rdepend.ebuild in the overlay
* can it inherit/include an RDEPEND list from a specific text file?  E.g.
  /etc/portage/package_rdepend
* "emerge rdepend" after adding items to /etc/portage/package_rdepend
* "emerge --depclean" after deleting from /etc/portage/package_rdepend
