that's a misleading suggestion.  the binary package indeed must have
only one to depend but there is no reason to force installation of
teTeX[12] when the other is already installed on the system while
building a depending package from sources and the package is fine with
any of them.

take a look at e.g. textproc/latex2html for an example how to achieve
this:

  DEPENDS+=3D {teTeX-bin>=3D1.0.6,teTeX2-bin-[0-9]*}:../../print/teTeX-bin

it uses the installed teTeX package, if none is found then teTeX from
print/teTeX-bin is used (that's the package which will be listed as a
dependency in a binary package built from scratch).
