But it should be possible to set something that triggers when called from
  bulk-small -> ... -> rust
or
  bulk-large -> bulk-medium -> bulk-small -> ... -> rust
but not
  bulk-large -> ... -> rust (assuming ... does not include bulk-small)

As a proof of concept just adding the following to rust/Makefile
should give the right effect, but... "horrible"

+.if ${_PKGSRC_DEPS:M*bulk-small*}
+PKG_FAIL_REASON="Rust is not permitted when building bulk-small, via:
${_PKGSRC_DEPS}"
+.endif
+
