--- Description ---
Hi,

I created a local poudriere repo for fast building kmods only and was very
surprised, nvidia-drm-kmod brought hundreds of dependencies, because it has
RUN_DEPENDS on x11/nvidia-driver and building of that repo wasn't fast at all.
Can we have that dependency optional, using OPTIONS may be?

Right now my workaround is a local overlay with:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod*}
RUN_DEPENDS:=	${RUN_DEPENDS:Nnvidia-driver*}
.endif
