In fact, most applications depend on mlt++. mlt++ depends on mlt. So
installing Kdenlive would install mlt++ and trigger installation of mlt.
Like this is the case under other systems.

I am going to create a separate package for mlt++.

A port can easily fetch multiple distfiles if necessary, however MacPorts only runs each phase (configure, build, destroot) once, and making it issue multiple configure and make commands in multiple directories basically requires reimplementing those phases yourself in the portfile, which is a lot of work to do correctly, taking into account all the features we have in MacPorts for nice builds and parallel builds and universal binaries and such. Easier to just make them two separate ports as you said.
