If a program in a binary packages links against /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4, how is that encoded in the package? >> Looking at the lsof Makefile, I see OSVERSION_SPECIFIC=yes.

The unsafe_depends package variable says that a dependency of the package has been 'make replace'd (and should also be set when a dependency is "pkg_add -u'd). This makes sense on packages that do not depend on any other packages, because they still depend on aspects of the base system.
