  This probably works, but it has the disadvantage that packages will no
longer be able to override BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.Xft2 (e.g., if they need a
newer version or a specific version of Xft2).

  What about this:

...
_XFT2_DEPENDS=                  Xft2>=2.0.1
...
# If we depend on the package, depend on the latest version
# with a library major bump.
_XFT2_DEPENDS:=                 Xft2>=2.1
...
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.Xft2?=        ${_XFT2_DEPENDS}
...

  ?

  Cheers
