Hi Joe,
mark_failed did get executed, but all it does is change the status of 
ports dependent on the failed port.  I had to add an extra line to cause 
the postPortBuild hook to fire under the name of each port that was 
marked failed for dependency reasons.

So in my example, there were 3 ports involved: The port in the queue and 
two ports that it depended on.  The first dependency failed, and the 
postPortBuild hook fired for that failure.  The other dependency and the 
queued port were marked failed (due to dependency reasons) but the 
postPortBuild hook did not fire for those two.

So I'm expecting the postPortBuild hook to fire 3 times, but it only 
fired once.   Does that explanation make sense?
