no, 'DEPENDS = "ncurses-native"'; BUT:

* it will cause problems on (host)distributions which do not have libtinfo
  (e.g. RHEL5) and have ncurses-native in their ASSUME_PROVIDED

* some hours ago I added a libtermcap.so compatibility symlink to
  ncurses(-native) so that 5ea3047995421d99f7f3537cb8f9ae23f3185a9f
  might not be needed anymore

* build of the curses frontend should be disabled for cmake-native because
  we do automated builds only; I do not know atm how to configure cmake
  for this...
