Would this do it?

-   ${ERROR_MSG} "${_pkg_} is not installed; can't buildlink files."; \
+   ${ERROR_MSG} "${BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.${_pkg_}} is not installed; can't 
buildlink files."; \

That way it would say "ERROR: cairo>=1.6.4 is not installed; can't
buildlink file", which at least leads the reader in the right
direction.

I think.

(Are there cases where BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.${_pkg_} contains more
than the one clause, such the message would no longer be appropriate?)
