I think you've misunderstood the term dependency hell [1]. Anyone who has spent hours struggling with rpm (ugh, or worse CMMI) to get x application installed which depends on y from z.alpha.com and s from t.beta.com, which also need rpm-ing with their own dependencies would never dare to even think of such terms when using the Ports Collection. I found it a miracle when I first moved!
