I'm not in favor doing it this way.
If you go to:
https://rubygems.org/gems/mail

The dependency is not listed.
I think doing it this way, will will run into many runtime problems.

I think it would be better to install rubyXY in a way that expected 
packages are existing.
In my opinion we should add the runtime deps to the rubyXY port and remove
these patches from the ports like mail/rubygem-mail.

The next person that will upgrade mail to e.g. 2.7.2 will check 
https://rubygems.org/gems/mail
and will remove the dependency to mail/rubygem-net-smtp again.

I think this will end in a nightmare managing the dependencies correctly.

Any comments?
