I'm not sure what the initial reasoning was, but I think the current behavior 
is correct.

When a port is installed as a dependency of some other port, it should be 
installed the same way as if it were installed manually first.

ie. A requires B:

port install A 
and 

port install B && port install A

should result in the same final install.
