[OS X TeX] how imitate TeXShop's pdflatexmk from command line

No, I am not using either glossaries or the old glossary package. Just nomencl for the index of notation.

Given that I now am using, at the command line, separate makeindex commands...

makeindex main -s main.ist -o main.nls              
makeindex names.idx -s main.ist -o names.ind
makeindex -s main.ist main

...I don’t see what use to make of the custom dependencies in TeXShop’s latexmkrcedit. Specifically, is the custom dependency something I add to some config file for command-line use of the TeXLive latexmk?
