I've taken a copy of the pkg_summary.gz from that repository to see if
I can see why pkgin is getting confused about which dependencies
belong where, but certainly that package repository is fundamentally
broken with REQUIRES entries pointing to the work area, and so you're
going to run into problems regardless.

I don't know who is building those packages, but they should
investigate why the CHECK_SHLIBS checks are letting those packages
pass through.
