It's also worth noting that what you've mentioned about "caching dependencies" isn't caching them on disk (we do that already and extensively) but instead being able to cache it in memory to make dependency resolution faster. I don't think that's basic stuff and most users don't seem to have a problem with the speed of such things.

Having this support in freebsd/pkg may make it a better choice for distributing software on OS X with dependency resolution needs more along the lines of what apt and yum are able to provide.
