  Yes, as PKG_OPTIONS.

  If you assume the binary repository is consitent, you can use
PKG_OPTIONS from the dependency.

  Other than that, no.  There is currently no support in the options
framework to note which options are required of a dependecy.  When we
add that support, it's easy to also add the information to the
BUILD_INFO and summary files.
