There is a message on the arch-general list in which a developer
(Allan) confirms this when asked for clarification:
http://www.mail-archive.com/arch-general@archlinux.org/msg05439.html

Although not stated in those words, the explanations of "depends" and
"makedepends" in the PKGBUILD man page and in the following wiki
articles make it clear that the two are mutually exclusive:
