Those dependencies need to be built and installed on PC1 from AUR
before the "main" AUR package is built anyway. So they can also be
moved to PC2 as binary packages and should be installed automatically
by pacman when the "main" package is installed on PC2.

Usually you're not informed by the notify feature when an AUR package
is updated, because most maintainers don't write comments, when they
update their package. So you should use one of the wrapper scripts like
yaourt, aurbuild etc. to search for updates.
