I'm pretty sure there is no way to do this. No clean way, at least.

Perhaps doxygen should be split up into doxygen and doxygen-docs subports to
avoid this kind of thing.

If the dependent just invokes doxygen, then it can use
depends_skip_archcheck-append doxygen
I don't know if doxygen itself installs any libraries or headers; if not, it
should use
installs_libs no
so that dependents don't have to use depends_skip_archcheck.
