'make missing' is broken for lang/ruby18

Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/lang/ruby18
# make all-depends-list
/usr/ports/security/openssl
/usr/ports/devel/automake
/usr/ports/devel/autoconf
/usr/ports/lang/perl5.12
/usr/ports/devel/makedepend
/usr/ports/devel/automake-wrapper
/usr/ports/devel/m4
/usr/ports/misc/help2man
/usr/ports/devel/gmake
/usr/ports/devel/autoconf-wrapper
/usr/ports/x11/xproto
/usr/ports/devel/pkg-config
/usr/ports/devel/p5-Locale-gettext
/usr/ports/devel/gettext
/usr/ports/devel/libtool
/usr/ports/converters/libiconv

If all dependencies are installed, EXCEPT:
/usr/ports/devel/automake
/usr/ports/devel/autoconf

# make missing
won't list:
/usr/ports/devel/automake
/usr/ports/devel/autoconf
 
I think it is because they are strictly build dependencies (which, by definition, are not needed on the system for any other reason than building the port).

Check:

Code: 
$ make build-depends-list
/usr/ports/devel/autoconf
/usr/ports/devel/automake
[I]/usr/ports/security/openssl[/I]

$ make run-depends-list
[I]/usr/ports/security/openssl[/I]

Since OpenSSL is also a run dependency, it shows up in make missing, whereas the other two don't.

That is not to say that they should be omitted from make missing (which appears to be defeating the purpose of that specific command, i.e. listing ports that are still missing), but it gives a possible explanation, even if it's as flimsy as "not really necessary in the long run".
 
If that is a case, then target missing should be expanded to:
make build-missing
make run-missing
