Well, ahemmm, I guess it's a design mistake, or at least an inexactness. 
When USE_TOOLS had been added, we didn't have cross-compiling in mind. 
And since the USE_TOOLS syntax was very nice, it was extended to cover 
runtime dependencies as well.

USE_TOOLS:build: A shortcut for BUILD_DEPENDS (and NATIVE_DEPENDS (which 
is not yet(?) in pkgsrc)).

USE_TOOLS:run: A shortcut for DEPENDS.

USE_TOOLS:pkgsrc: Only NATIVE_DEPENDS.
