Not really. Maybe the Config.in read by kconfig could be generated by
the Makefile system. Either completely from the Makefiles, or from
Config.in.tmp files, parsed and modified to contain the dependencies.

However, there are some packages with optional dependencies, like in
matchbox:

ifeq ($(strip $(BR2_PACKAGE_X11R7_LIBXCOMPOSITE)),y)
ifeq ($(strip $(BR2_PACKAGE_X11R7_LIBXPM)),y)
  MATCHBOX_WM_OPTS+=--enable-composite
  MATCHBOX_WM_DEPS+=xlib_libXcomposite
  MATCHBOX_WM_DEPS+=xlib_libXpm
  MATCHBOX_LIB_DEPS+=xlib_libXpm
endif
endif

I'm not sure how to handle that kind of case.

Sincerly,

Thomas
