I saw recent changes > regarding dependency checks in the port tools. I'm not saying they There were changes just after 5.7 which have been completely reverted. The pkg_tools have not changed in that regard for a very long time.
The dpb stuff is completely unrelated and don't affect neither pkg_create nor pkg_add at all (and the ways dependencies are handled in the ports tree didn't change either). If pkg_check tells you it's missing dependencies, then it probably means a former pkg_add -u did end up with a fatal strange error, or your file system has issues leading to a corrupted /var/db/pkg. I would check your partitions for lost+found.
