Install port without dependencies?

Hi all,

I'm running OS X 10.6 and have LaTeX installed through MacTeX (which is
essentially TeXLive). Now I'd like to install a programme called 'rubber', which
is available through MacPorts. TeXLive is a runtime dependency, but obviously I
have no interest in installing the texlive port, because I already have MacTeX.

Is there a way to install a port and have it ignore one of its dependencies?
Preferably in a persistant way, so that future upgrades won't try to install
texlive either?

Thanks,

Joost
