  We should add support for TEST_DEPENDS to pkgsrc.  I have a patch
for this that needs cleanup.  I'll try to get it committed soon.

  Then, you should add the modules that are only needed to run the
tests as TEST_DEPENDS.

  If you want to start your cleanup now, go ahead and for now add
        BUILD_DEPENDS+=TEST_DEPENDS
to your /etc/mk.conf (so you can test your changes).
