 I've now done this (on MacOS X 10.4.11).  I went to the top-level package
 I was trying to build (mplayer) and while it caused xextproto-7.1.1nb1
 (pkgsrc-current) to be installed, it skipped trying to build/install
 x11/Xfixes (2.0.1nb4) entirely.  A subsequent dependency (qt-libs-3.3.8)
 then failed because Xfixes wasn't installed.
 
 With the above modification to "/usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf", Xfixes was not
 listed among the dependencies prior to building qt3-libs.  A 'bmake
 clean clean-depends' showed it cleaning for Xfixes-2.0.1nb4, however.
 
 Installing x11/Xfixes by hand succeeded and qt3-libs is building.
