Some of these are bundled dependencies it seems.
You should unbundle as many dependencies as possible when
writing a port so that the dependencies are installed only
once and can be kept up to date easily.

You may need to add new ports for these unbundled dependencies.
For example, CxxUrl is an independent project [1] that should be
packaged and then the bundled copy should be replaced with a
dependency to that package.

Yours,
