You need a huge amount more than me due to using ccache, and that has 
changed recently to require more dependencies.  Personally without 
ccache I very rarely (maybe once every few years?) have to modify the 
list.

For your situation I'd recommend using an external ccache.  While you 
need to use the in-tree pkgsrc gcc, you can use ccache from anywhere.
