Actually, as it so often happens, I found out how to do this five minutes after sending my query. In case anybody is interested:
sbopkg scans for dependencies based on the contents of the queue file for the package to be installed. This file will list the dependencies for the target package. If a listed dependency is preceded by a '-' character then sbopkg will not attempt to verify whether or not that dependency is already installed.
