As you're going to reinstall the package immediately,
there won't be a problem. Of course, a depending program
won't properly run until you've actually replaced the
package in question.

For keeping track of dependencies, you can also use
portmaster or portupgrade and use -P and -PP options
to work with packages (like pkg_add does) instead of
compiling from sources. The "pkgdb -aF" command will
properly store dependency informations.
