otool -L gives you libraries that your file links to. These are needed at runtime and so are Depends (and usually are foo-shlibs). And 99.44% of the time, you'll need the corresponding foo-dev (sometimes called just foo, confusing, I know) package that contains the header (.h) files so that your program knows what to do with the library it needs. So if you get /sw/lib/libintl.8.0.2.dylib as a linked library, then you want Depends: libgettext8, and BuildDepends: libgettext8-dev.
