That's what the pkgsrc package does (via the buildlink3 framework),  
and it allows the package to set minimum supported versions of each  
library (which could be residing as part of the OS base installation  
itself, and if those are to old then fetch and install newer ones from  
pkgsrc).
The current versions are now set to libpcap >= 0.9.4 and libpcre >=  
6.7, and nmap seems to work fine.
