Hm, maybe there should be some logic that tries relpath with ${PORTDIR} 
first (whatever it's set to), and if that fails, tries the 'proper' ports
tree. Also, it might be smart to have overridden ports always look at
/usr/ports for dependancies _first_, and then fall back to the dfports.

It would entail mucking with the makefiles in /usr/share/mk.

Man, I'll be glad when we can throw dfports away. It's a big pain in the
a**.
