Makepkg refuses to build due to depends array [solved]

Question

Makepkg refuses to build a package based on the contents of the depends array.  My understanding is that the contents of the makedepends array are needed to build, but the contents of the depends array are needed to run the software.
Example, I want to build nvidia drivers for a kernel which I do not have installed.  I do have that specific kernel headers extracted (via a wrapper script) to $startdir/tar/lib/modules/${_kernver}/build
I get the following error when I try to build:
$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: nvidia-lts-ck 260.19.36-2 (Sun Jan 30 15:41:20 EST 2011)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: 'kernel26-lts-ck>=2.6.32': could not find or read package
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
But if I comment out the depends array, it builds just fine.  What am I missed?

install -D -m644 "${srcdir}/${_pkg}/LICENSE" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/nvidia-lts-ck/LICENSE"
EDIT:  My bad... so accustomed to using the -s switch!  I now realize I need to makepkg -d to get this to work properly.

Finally managed to update it to 6.3.008-1, still gives the same error:
