I misspoke, sorry.  Obviously pkgdepend should add a dependency on

Sorry, I forgot how mediated links work, I think such a package doesn't exist.
Is there a mechanism to say you must have "one of x, y, z"
packages?
Yep, that's a require-any dependency, a different mechanism than mediated links.

Mediated links refer to the situation where multiple packages deliver link actions which have the same path but different targets. While typically this would result in a duplicate action error, if the links are mediated then either a vendor, site, user or default preference is used to select which link action's target is placed on the file system.
