That will be build / installed only if you build with dynamic libs
(case 2 or 3 above)

Well, on pontyhat we'll build the package with all the drivers
dynamically linked so those few people who are afraid of doing a
`cd /usr/ports/mail/dspam && make install clean` we'll be happy :)

Other that testing the port/package a little easier (no recompile for
each driver) there are no advantages.
