psautohint isn't the only port requiring extra features from fonttools. I know
it rarely changes, but it doesn't means it won't change. When it changes, it
has to be propagated to all ports which copied these dependency lines from
fonttools. It should be done in the same commit as the fonttools update to
prevent possible breakage. If the person who updates fonttools doesn't know he
or she should update copies in other ports as well, these copies may eventually
become outdated.

I don't like having duplicate code in a project, but it is OK for me to accept
your proposal if you agree to update all ports using extra features from
fonttools whenever dependencies of options change. It is not an ideal solution,
but I can accept it as long as you don't ask me to keep them in sync by myself
and don't leave them outdated. I can add comments to the Makefile of fonttools,
so you don't have to search the entire ports tree to find these copies.

The ideal way to resolve the problem is probably adding a USES macro for
fonttools, so we will have neither code copies nor many metaports.
