Probably the best thing you could do is to complain to the author of the package or port and remind them to put a dependency line in their installation package that will signal the user when they install the package to also install the other packages needed. In any case, this particular one I believe is part of the compatability libraries, just install them and add the compatability library directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable. Emacs seems to be a particularly bad offender, the latest emacs package seems to require a library out of X windows, believe it or not. I think there've been a few packages of it in the past that required Motif libraries as well.
