I found a few mentions of namcap on the wiki. I tried it on the package I created, which I don't currently have any dependencies listed in, and the only problems it reports are missing maintainer and CVS id tags. It mentions nothing about the missing dependencies. By the way, What does the name namcap stand for?
namcap will find dependencies only when run on a built package - it can't analyse a PKGBUILD and discover deps for you. Build the package, then run namcap /path/to/pkgname-pkgver-pkgrel.pkg.tar.gz and it'll tell you. If you can't even build the package because of missing deps on your system, then check out the project's documentation - they're usually pretty good about telling you what you need.
